I have set backtest period to 2010 to 2019. Backtest stops after around 2012. Data resolution is Hour. Broker OandA.
Following is part of my initialize routine,
self.symbols = ["EURUSD", "EURGBP", "GBPUSD"]
self.ShortPairs = ["EURUSD", "EURGBP", "GBPUSD"]
# self.symbols = ["EURUSD"]
# self.ShortPairs = ["EURUSD"]
PairsCount30 = len(self.symbols)
self.SetStartDate(2010, 12, 3) #Set Start Date
self.SetEndDate(2019, 12, 6) #Set End Date
self.SetCash(PairsCount30 * 10000) #Set Strategy Cash
self.fxPairs = {}
what am I missing?
Thanks.

What resolution are you using? I once tried running a bactest at Minute resolution over several years. It ran overnight and stopped about 24 hours later.

Hey there! The limit is 12 hours; minute resolution runs fine for up to about 5000 symbols depending on the amount of RAM and programming language (and algorithm!). Please post an algorithm example to debug any issues you see.

Quote from Docs :
Because of vendor limitations free users are capped to 10kb of logs per backtest, with a maximum of 3Mb per day.
Could this be an issue with mycase? Since, it is my firrst algo and I am new to QC, I log extensively. My downloaded backtest log txt file size is more than 4 Mb
I am running backtest with Hour resolutuon and 3 currency pairs.

What will happen if I get disconnected after starting very long running backtest? Does it continue to run? If yes, how do I get back to that periously running backtest?

Even after waiting for more than 24 hours and not using self.LOG() even once, when I ran that same backtest. with the same settings, it stopped after approximately 6 months time period.
Just noticed that all the times, backtest stopped just before number of orders approched 10000. Every time, it stopped when number of orders became between 9950 and 9999. I tried setting my algo parameters(in such a way that generate less number of orders) and number of currency pairs between 1 and 21 and period from 2004 to 2019. For all permutations and combinations, it never crossed 10000 for number of orders. It went upto 9998 once but never crossed 10000.
Less numer of currency pairs, more the time period it ran for.
Is there a glass ceiling of maximum 10000 orders per backtest?
Jared Broad
orders.
