Hi, My question is I want to test a system up to date but whenever I try to choose simulation dates, it gives "The specified 'To' date falls outside the range of the selected local data. " error. I want to test the system till 29.04.2010 but the maximum I can reach without this error is 04-01-2010 (January) . Isn't it strange?

Hi Lyrk

Yes it's strange but it's something I always get, so rather than fight it I have a simple work-around. I use the other option - "Use price data from the last [censored]X available periods." - in conjuction with a date filter (see below). It's not difficult to calculate the number of bars needed to span the data under test and allow for any N/A periods generated by your code. The only other thing you have to do is set the default start and end dates into the filter and add something like " AND Fml("Date Filter")" to your system's code as required.

{Date Filter}
Sd:=Input("Start day" ,1,31,1);
Sm:=Input("Start month",1,12,1);
Sy:=Input("Start year" ,1980,2015,2000);
Ed:=Input("End day" ,1,31,31);
Em:=Input("End month" ,1,12,12);
Ey:=Input("End year" ,1980,2020,2010);
Start:=(DayOfMonth()>=Sd AND Month()=Sm AND
Year()=Sy) OR Year()>Sy OR (Year()=Sy AND Month()>Sm);
End:=(DayOfMonth()<=Ed AND Month()=Em AND
Year()=Ey) OR Year()<Ey OR (Year()=Ey AND Month()<Em);
Start AND (End OR (Start AND Alert(Start=0,2)));
