hi
i've been experiencing recurring problems with the portfolio backtester:
1) when i optimize, after a very lengthy period of connecting to the data, the report results are displayed. then when i go to click on backtest the software 'freezes up'. this happens 100% of the time when i optimize using the custom formula (ie the net profit/ maxddratio).
2) after completing a backtest, i try to save the portfolio performance report but the software 'freezes up' every single time. is it because the report is very large (it's based on a very large intraday database)?
3) also it would be great if as an alternative returns could be displayed based on a fixed capital amount.
thanks
portfolio backtester problems
regarding 1) above:
i saved 2 portfolios: the only difference between the two being one is set up for a custom optimization and the other a 'regular' optimization based on net profit.
the latter portfolio performs/calculates just fine. the first one freezes up as described every time.
go figure.
still cannot save the portfolio performance report. it's not a size issue (we're talking about 1000 trades or so).
i agree with a previous poster: being able to copy/paste from parts of the portfolio performance report would be very useful.
cheers
