Why I can't backtest import csv data?
31 Mar 2017, 01:15

Hello

I've been trying to backtest this data, which I think has the correct format :link

However the play button is gray on the backtesting bar, and I'm clueles about what is causing it.

Also on optimization shows: "reference to object not established as an object instance"

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, make sure the csv file isn't opened in another app. Also I had to set starting period 1 day later.

Hello .tmc, thanks for your response

The file is not opened by any other app, and I set the days as you told me, still play button is gray. I'm pretty clueless about this issue.

Does the file has to be on any specific location?

Best Regards,
