Signal did not calculate all available price data

Postby LMC1 » 18 Sep 2023

Hi,

I'm testing a new intra-day trading signal. There is more than one years' price data. However, the signal only calculated less than half of the price data and generated system performance report on it. However, indicators could be calculated throughout all available data on the chart.
Please help.
Thanks.

If this is a coding question, you must post your codes.

Without more detailed information it is difficult to help you. I'm guessing they set too many "max bars back"? Right click on the chart -> format signals -> properties, in the properties tab reduce "maximum number of bars study will reference". Please note that some indicators require a certain number of max barsback and the signals are only drawn from the specified number (bar number). The whole thing can also be specified in the code, but it is not understandable without code/further information -> see TJ's post
