Hello,

I tried to produce my very first own ba

cktest with a bsic strategy, the EMA crossover.

I have used a sample code and modified it to fit the requirements I want to backtest.

Unfortunatelly, I'm unable to produce any backtesting data with my code and can't find the problem.

It woumld be great if someone could help.

Many thanks in advance  !
