2012 was a rough year for SPY.

Hi,
This is my code base. Dollar cost being 1000 Dollar per month say at 15th each month or soon after that.
I get result fine for a small simulation day 4 months (simulation id: b1e60c72-3d4e-48db-a9dd-948dba8d084b). I have checked the trades, they seem to be fine.
Anything longer simulation time seems not be working. The simulation ids are as follows:
c1747beb-2f47-4de5-9e03-6d45b57a7b34
ae50851a-a685-4a04-beeb-39466b8f661d
097beabe-1652-49dc-a972-1a966c7cc985

Yeah I am taking slices of time. Any simulation that deals with data more than 6 months seem not to work, at least for this dollar coast average that I have listed above.
Please feel free to copy/paste it and have a play with different start and end dates.

Good catch, thank you. We pushed out code a little too fast last night and missed a bug ;) We'll patch this today -

Cool done --> 1. Fixed the series bug. It was from the new dynamic scatter plotting, again only visual no backtests affected. 2. Fixed the bug restricting data from July 31st -> December 31st. Gustavo is finishing the charting tonight.
Now will add the daily update server so data is always current until yesterday...
Series analysis take too long I think so perhaps we'll work on some optimization there as well. At least now you'll get dynamic beautiful charts while the results stream in.
