Hi dupont, sorry about the wait.
All the algorithms in the open-source project work, since they are part of the test battery we run before every new patch is added. I have attached one example.

If you find an example that "doesn't work", Please share an algorithm (use the attach backtest button below) that shows the issue you are experiencing. This procedure helps us, the community, to answer your questions quickly and effectively.
