Any ideas why this EA won't backtest?

[SirBoyce]

Hi All,

Created this EA: https://fxdreema.com/shared/dF8kulwhd

Went to do a quick backtest on GBP/USD Daily from 1st Jan 2019 to 30 July 2020 and for some reason the visual MT4 strategy tester immediately indicated the test was over with no trading data and a visual chartshowing dates from June 2018 to December 2018 (???).

I tried running another EA of mine with the same parameters and worked fine.

Looking at the project I cannot figure out why the EA would not work.

Thanks for taking a look.

I cant load it because of the custom indicators. be sure all of your indicators are named properly. It may help to restart your project from the beginning and I suggest like this:

Create a shared copy of your project, this will be the basis for where you copy and paste everything from.

Create a new project and put in all of your base necessities without all the conditions. Save the project. Try to test it. If it loads fine and takes 0 trades, GREAT NEWS! On to the next condition. Just add the first condition block, resave and retest. Repeat the process until it doesn't work.

If it didnt run it at all after starting from the beginning....good luck have fun.

@jsauter86 I recommend to swapt block numbers 43 for 53. Now both 'For each trade' are executed AFTER block 15 but BEFORE block 53. That can lead to weird results.
