I have an algo thats been running for a while live on FXCM using EURUSD as my security. I'd like to switch to USDJPY but when running the backtest I get a new stacktrace error and I can't figure out why.
Any ideas? Same algo, different currency pair

I wonder if unitPrice is somehow 0 here

Disabling the warm up it works fine but takes 10 days to warm up. It may be an issue with the SetWarmup logic. We'll have to look into this deeper and will get back to you here.

unitPrice is zero here, because Security.QuoteCurrency.ConversionRate is zero here.
The conversion rate is updated when the CashBook is updated which only occurs after the warming up period.
The IsWarmingUp condition check is missing from the algorithm:
private void OnDataFifteen(object sender, TradeBar consolidated) { if (IsWarmingUp) return; // ... }So why did it work for EURUSD?
Because the AccountCurrency is USD, therefore the conversion rate is 1.
When the algorithm traded EURUSD without the IsWarmingUp condition check, it didn't throw "Division by zero" exception, but it was buying it on 10 days before the StartDate. Since it was running in live mode, that detail passed unnoticed.

Alexandre Catarino I have similar problem following are my init paramsÂ
In portfolio construction I am trying to access the quote conversion which always comes as zero even after warm up period
Since rate is always zero my script does not generate any target. Just to be clear I have downloaded audusd hourly data prior to run above.Â
