Messing up indicator values ​​in the backtest section
06 Jul 2024, 07:39


In the backtest section, when I add the Keltner Channel indicator, before starting the backtest, the indicator values ​​are correct, but a little after the start, the indicator values ​​are messed up and the distance of the indicator opening is very small. What is the problem? This problem occurred after the last update.

Hi

You can also test yourself in the backtest section; Add the Keltner Channels indicator and you will see that before starting each robot; The opening of the indicator is, for example, 50 pips away, but immediately after the start of the robot and the revelation of new candles; The opening of the indicator will quickly get closer to each other and it will show, for example, a distance of 5 pips. Photo 1 that I have attached is before the start of the robot and photo 2 shows shortly after the start of the robot.
The same problem caused the robot that I wrote earlier based on this indicator and it worked correctly; It is now disabled after the recent update. I tried some similar indicators but they did not have this problem.

Hi there

More than a month has passed since the announcement of this problem, but the problem has not been solved yet. How long do you think it will take for an update to solve this problem? I want to know that if it takes a long time, I should spend time and try other indicators or write a similar indicator myself so that I can restart my robot.

Best Regards
