Hello houss75,

Data 2 instrument should be on the same line with the Data1 instrument. Imagine each horizontal line as a chart with multiple data series. You cannot have Data2 without Data1.

Works great.

Thanks henry

houss75

Ok thanks JoshM but I still have an error message when I run the backtesting even if a put the instrument on the data2 and all my instruments on data 2.
See the attachement file.
