{exception} floating point point invalid operation

Postby zumthor » 20 Mar 2011

in portfolio backtester i keep getting this message "{exception} floating-point invalid operation"

the strange part is that it only happens when i backtest multiple instruments. if i start off testing say gbpusd and then add eurusd or usdchf then the error pops up.

can anyone help explain what this message means?

usually caused by division by zero.

ive checked the code and there is no dividing by zero going on. as i said before it seems to happen intermittently. its incredibly frustrating.
also the system works when i just place it on a chart...
