i am testing a simple entry moving average for performance and the system will not make any buys after 1/26/1996.
When i isolate the test to the time frame where no trades are made the test gives me the error the "error.OnEndSimulation : Compilation error in 'OnEndSimulation':
Index was outside the bounds of the array."
what could be the problem here? this is hurting my ability to perform accurate tests and there should be trades being made during this time frame.

my formula for this
// Buy rules
Optimize("op1", 3, 16, 1);
Optimize("op2", 8, 30, 2);
Rule1 = (SMA(op1) > SMA(op2));
buy = (Rule1);
// Sell rules

Optimize("ops0", 5, 20, 5);
SetSimStop(_StopNBar, _Percent, ops0, 1);

never mind i found that there seems to be an issue with the amount of funds that the program did not like

The issue is not related to your formula but rather to the money management script you added.
The issue is located in the "OnEndSimulation" event.
