Only trade without test - need .t1 history - 05/26/18 09:13

Hi all,

I see this message when I try to run my function.
Why I need the history if I want to trade without test.

the .t1 data is requested whether is must backtest otherwise waht is it for only trade?

Below the code I'm using

Code:

function run()
{
  set(LOGFILE);
  StartDate = NOW;
  BarPeriod = 0.001/60;
  LookBack = 0;
  Weekend = 0;
  asset("BTCUSD_simple");
  if(!NumOpenLong)
  enterLong();
}

your bar period looks wrong. Try

BarPeriod = 1./60;
History = ".t1";

hft works in test mode only and when the bar period is less than one minute you must anyway switch history to t1.

The minimum bar period is one second (1./60) for normal scripts, and 1 ms (0.001/60) for HFT simulation

right!!!

thanks
