Sprit and Lobo. Thank you for the kernels of wisdom.
I read through everything in the manual for the second time, and I must have missed some notable steps. I finally got the system up and running properly.
-I did not setup the Z.ini file.
-I downloaded historical price data from the download page instead of fiddling around with the download script.
-I renamed the assets in the assetfix file
I did all of those actions this time around and it tested perfectly.
Thanks again for the help. Really supportive community.
Happy trading.
Cheers,
Tom
