I was recently backtesting an EA, and settings that worked well the previous night weren't working AT ALL. I checked and re-checked all inputs and settings, timeframes, dates, etc., and everything was the same as my previous days' settings. Then I noticed in the Report section, that the "bars in test" was only 1681 !!. I was on 1M charts for a month ... there are 1440 minutes in a day, so this was only a little more than a day's worth of bars. I increased the the number of days in the test, and it zipped right to conclusion (with no results), and still only had 1681 bars.
What gives? Has anyone had this problem before? I've already checked the Tools/Options/Charts, and the setting is normal. I can't figure this out, and it's really getting to me.
Lastly, is this "bug" something that I absolutely need to fix before I go live again? I trade one of the EA's on a live account, but am concerned that this bug might affect it too.
I really hope someone can help here.
Thanks.
Doug
