my DEMO 2.27.2 does not start any backtesting today (Sunday). This happened many times before on Sundays and stopped after the market opened.
Quote:
13:09:46 Cannot get the last tick for the EUR/USD

In this issue, the last tick is not needed, because I wanted to test until Friday 2013-10-04
Please fix this.

On LIVE 2.26.6 the Historical Tester is working, same settings.

I think there is no check in the HT's selected test period if you want to have the latest tick. By default, it is trying to get always the latest tick (I suppose). And I think Support won't change tester behavior, and distinguish between Demo or Live tester instances...

As it is working fine on a Live tester, I think we have to live with the fact that the Demo accounts have limitations during the weekend...

No, this is not acceptable! It is not a feature we have to live with, it is a bug which should be solved by the Dukascopy team!

I still get this kind of error during the weekend when I try to start any strategy back testing:
It shows "13:39:15 Cannot get the last tick for the USD/CAD" and Historical Tester stops.
It is also on other instruments. As soon as new ticks appear on Sunday, also back testing works.
But the weekend is the time my servers are not so busy calculating live data. It is also the time to improve existing strategies from last week to run them on the next week.

Support, please fix this bug asap.
You would get way more trading volume if we could test our strategies faster.

seen on JForex DEMO 2.29.1

While the support team fixes this annoying bug (I saw such a message in Historical Tester too) try a workaround: relaunch the platform.

This is due to our DEMO server restart on w/e. Will solve this.
