Portfolio trader with TS data

Postby tozwp » 21 Jan 2019

First time trying to use Portfolio Trader and am running into problems. I've launched PT, created an instrument list and added a simple signal. At this point when I try to Backtest, I get the error "You must have Administrator or PowerUser rights to run TS (failed to open cache files). I have TS set up to run as Administrator (advanced properties for the TS shortcut - Run as Administrator). I have had to do this to run Multicharts for years now. Canceling the backtest then shuts PT down and I repeatedly get the error "TS/ORCAL already in use, closing down!" This error continues even after I have shut off PortfolioTrader. At that point, I am also unable to open TS with PortfolioTrader closed. Next attempt after rebooting my pc was to start TS first and then PortfolioTrader. I then got the same message "TS/ORCAL already in use, closing down!".

Would like to learn how to use PortfolioTrader but first need to figure out how to get it running. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hello,
try the following: right click on the PT icon and select "run as administrator".

regards.
