invalid security data

[ajellis]

I'm trying to run an exploration on a single security - the QQQ in the US.

I get an internal error message saying invalid security data. This is rubbish because it's a perfectly normal looking chart.

What's the cause of this?

thanks

What does the Error Log say?

No valid trading records in database

Could you please post or send me your trade database exploration code.

Not the same as the QQQ exploration, but this one also returns a dll reported internal error of invalid security data. It works on a basket of stocks, and the data is available from 1987 with load options set to 20000

The ExtFml("TradeSim.SetExitTriggerDelay",1); should come after the call to the Initialize function. However this shouldn't effect the results drastically.

Try the temporary substitution of the following variables:-

LongEntryPrice:=O;
LongInitialStop:=0.5*O;
