MSX DLL error

[Anonymous]

I have just installed TradeSim 3.3.0 on my computer (Toshia Satellite Pro, Win XP Pro, P4m 1.8GHz) and when I run the TradeSim metastock explorers which I have been running previously. I now keep getting ‘No stocks to report’ in the ‘Results’ tab and in the ‘Rejects’ tab under ‘Reasons for rejection’ I keep getting the message, ‘Error in column A: An MSX DLL is reporting an internal error’. Could someone please tell me why this is happening and how I can fix it?

Thanks

Hello

Could you please email me or post your exploration here.

More than likely you are using an OPERATOR in the naming of your method.

EG
Moving average/close
or M/A system.

Sure this will be it.

Hello George,

From the ErrorLog file

If you inspect the ErrorLog file you will see that the main problem you have with your trade database exploration is because you have synthesized entry and exit prices which lie outside the high and low of the day at the point of entry and exit, is the main reason the RecordTrades function is rejecting every trade. TradeSim does not allow you to synthesize price data which lies outside the price range of the day in order to keep the simulations realistic.

To prove this just replace your entry and exit price with OPEN or CLOSE or (H+L)/2 etc

David.
