I'm starting a new tag to report my continuing problem with the Output window when running the Simulator. With your generous help I have a strategy using MM working properly. It has a script to send daily ROC to the output window. The problem is that the starting date in the output window has nothing to do do with the starting date selected in the strategy. I have two pictures(SPY and SPY-1) using the same strategy withe two entirely different starting dates as you can see from the trades on the corresponding Simulator reports( 1/1/2000, and 1/1/2003), but the Output window starts with the same date(2/27/2006). All dates after 2/26/2006 return the correct starting dates on the Output window. This may be because the Output window can't handle more bars, or perhaps it has something to do with the short Feburary month in 2006. All selected dates prior to 2/27/2006 return the same starting date:2/27/2006 in the Output window. This obviously has nothing to do with clearing the output window prior to executing a new strtegy. I have been doing that in all cases! I'm reproducing the Strategy Script for you to test.
First, here is the picture upload URL: http://img202.imageshack.us/i/spy1u.jpg/ http://img593.imageshack.us/i/spyu.jpg/
The script follows;
string symbolLong = "spy";
string symbolShort = "SPY";
string rule1 = "a = close > sma(200)*1.035;";
string rule2 = "a = close < sma(200)*0.965;";
TimeSeries buy = Data.ParseFormula(rule1).GetTimeSeries(symbolLong, "a");
TimeSeries sell = Data.ParseFormula(rule2).GetTimeSeries(symbolLong, "a");
Thank you; this works well. When would you be increasing the output window look back limit? I would like to see the equivalent of at least 10 years/4000 days.Thanks again.
