I just installed NT7b12. I have unzipped a strategy that is known to work on NT7 but no profit or loss lines appear when I run the strat. Am I missing something?

Is it one I posted? I've been adding an "Allow Backtest" bool to all my strats which basically enables "if (Historical) return;" I use the Output window a lot so I need that bool and the default is "false." Set it to "true" in the Stratgey Editor dialog.

No the strat I tried that should work is Hurley_v101 posted by Big Mike who said it work for NT6.5 and NT7. I tried a 5 min chart.

Thanks,

Hi MXASJ - I tried your latest Kleinman_NT7b12 as well and that didn't sow up any entries and exits either. I switched Enabled to true and can then see the fast and slow MA lines but no historical trades.

Thanks
Nano

Pretty simple really - needed to have Enabled = true. I now include this as a line in the code, which you can do in NT7 - but cannot include it in NT6.5.

LOL yup I wasted a few minutes at first on that one too. I don't understand the logic of adding a strategy to a chart and it not being turned on at that point. I can understand disabling it without removing it, but can't understand it not being enabled when you first add it.
