Hi lec0456,

Can you please provide us with the following information?

  1. Is it a Demo or Live account?
  2. Symbol
  3. Backtesting Period.
  4. Timeframe.
  5. Data source (ticks or bars).

Best Regards,

1. Live account

2. EURUSD

3. 1/1/16 - 1/7/16 however, it has appeared for earlier periods

4. M15

5. Tickdata

It seems to throw the error, then i have to keep running the backtest until it appears to load all the data at which point it starts to run.

This error has never appeared before the 3.3 update.  Also, the data was previously loaded by 3.0 and previous versions. It seems that the 3.3 update requires reloading the tick data.

Hi lec0456,

The exception happens if your network connectivity is lost. Regarding 3.3, indeed it reloads tick data since we changed the format and new tick data needs to be downloaded again.

Best Regards,
