I'm using Professional to trade forex with realtime quotes from Reuters for Forex (and eod for equitites). I use the Downloader 9.2 for forex and 8.x for EOD.
If I run a system test on the Yen ($$USDJPY), it runs for a bit and then errors out saying"Simulation encountered invalid security".
Any ideas?
Jerry

Jerry, It would help if you provided the code from the system test,to see where the Error would occur.

Sorry about that...
The buy is : MACD()-Mov(MACD(),9,E)>0 AND Ref(MACD()-Mov(MACD(),9,E),1) <0
The sell: MACD()-Mov(MACD(),9,E)<0 AND Ref(MACD()-Mov(MACD(),9,E),1) >0
Max loss = 4% longs, Max profit = 0.02 I'm testing the YEN at 15 min, 30 min and 60 min at the same time.
It errors on each one and tells me that $$USDJPN is an invalid symbol.
I am using Downloader 8 for my EOD and Downloader 9.2 for real time forex.

Jerry, Rule 1 : NEVER use forward referencing. Rule 2 : NEVER use forward referencing. Rule 3 : NEVER use forward referencing. Are we seeing a pattern here? As far as the coding goes, try this: Code:
ind:=MACD();
x:=ind > Mov(ind,9,E);
buy:=x=1 and Alert(x=0,2);
sell:=x=0 and Alert(x=1,2);
{code doesn't really need the '=1' - added for symmetry!}

If no error, pick two timeframes and run them simultaneously, if no error then pick another combination of two timeframes and run them together. When do any errors occur? Or was it a coding issue?
