Hi,
I just put together a dummy strategy to test if some calculations work, but when I try to run it, it jumps straight away to the end without opening any position (and thus not letting me see the results of my calculated variables).
If I try to run it through the historical tester in jforex live platform, though, it works and regularly opens continuos positions... but doing so I can't see the variables either.
Can you help me?

Here's the file:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/69442751/CalculationsTest.vfs

could you also describe (with an example maybe) how to implement and use the "print" function directly into the generated code to display the variables in the live platform?

Thanks!!

Hi,

Unfortunately I cannot access your file as your link seems to be corrupted.
As of the print function, you have to insert it manually in the code for the variables that you want their values to be displayed..
The function is :

console.getOut().println(Your_variable_name)

Thank you for the code

the link should work if you right-click on it and choose "save as", however here's another, just to be sure:

(unfortunately I can't attach the file directly to the forum, I don't know why, maybe it's my browser)

Hi,

Thanks, the link works perfectly when right-clicking.
You need to set a start value to all your variables having the type "Double" to avoid any calculation issue (errors are happening at the very first loop where these variables get their first result generally)
Besides, are you sure about your calculation "power((A1-A2-A3), 2)+A4" as your result A4 is used both as a result and inside the operation (it will keep on growing endlessly)

As regarding the attachments, this is not dur to your browser but caused by an issue at our level. It will be fixed shortly.

Thanks

Yes, the ever-growing number is indeed an error, I think I fixed that using a couple of "assign" blocks resetting the variables before the "loop viewers". Thanks!

I tried to set a start value of 0 to all the "double" variables, but still when I build and run the strategy from within visual jforex, it jumps straight away to conclusion without opening any position at all... it doesn't even show the blue loading bar over the pink bar at the bottom of the window (the one that usually shows while the strategy is running after loading historical data)

What are your run-time parameters for testing ?
Are you testing on intraday basis ? Do you have the same result when slecting last week for instance ?
I'm saying this because you're using 'Day' period so testing on intrady for instance doesn't make sense and will led a sudden stop with errors generated (back-end: in the Java console if you have it activated)

PS: feel free to attach your latest work so that I can double check
Cheers

I select last month or last three months, here's a screenshot of the parameters


and this is what I get immediately after:


here's also the updated version of the calculations

Thanks!
