Is there a limit on the number of bars a chart can have before the
performance summary report malfunctions?
I have stitched together a fairly long ascii file but when backtesting have
found that after about 135,000 bars of OHLCV data the performance summary
report does not work and gives an error message, headed pmi, saying :
"Error adding price, date is less than previous date".
I've examined the data file in segments in excel and found no instance where
the date has 'gone backwards'.
It appears to be caused just by the amount of data TS is looking at. By
changing either the first or last date in the format symbol box, I can get
it to work if the number of bars is below about 135,000.
The problem, as far as I can see, is restricted just to this report - the
entry and exit arrows for the strategy all appear in the chart window as
normal.
I am using 2000i on Win98 on an 866MHz P3 machine with 128MB RAM.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
