I recently started working on Multicharts and did a few charts importing from ACII.
I am however having problem with backtesting some of the build in strategies. I follow the instructions yet I keep getting the error: DATA FOR NONE OF THE LOADED SYMBOLS IS SUFFICIENT FOR BACK TESTING OR OPTIMIZATION.
I went through all the settings 9 times did all the bar and magnifying settings etc.
The 2 signals I tested out were Bollinger Bands LE and SE.
You need to provide a lot more details. Exact type of data imported, how much of it, length of backtest, etc.
Did you open a chart and confirm the data is valid?
Is it tick data? Minute data? Daily data?

Due to time constraints, please do not PM me if your question can be resolved or answered on the forum.
Need help? 1) Stop changing things. No new indicators, charts, or methods. Be consistent with what is in front of you first. 2) Start a journal and post to it daily with the trades you made to show your strengths and weaknesses. 3) Set goals for yourself to reach daily. Make them about how you trade, not how much money you make. 4) Accept responsibility for your actions. Stop looking elsewhere to explain away poor performance. 5) Where to start as a trader? Watch this webinar and read this thread for hundreds of questions and answers. 6) Help using the forum? Watch this video to learn general tips on using the site.

The following user says Thank You to Big Mike for this post:
Try a much smaller amount of data ( maybe 15days) and see if it will generate any signals.. and like Mike said- examine to see if the data is there and complete. (Correct order etc)
It goes back to the above date from the current date. I have tried doing a back test with less bars, but get the same error then. I just hate not getting it right because I want to start back testing my own strategy, but can't even get the build in ones to work.
I have only 1 day of MC experience, but I had a similar problem yesterday. In my backtester my starting date was set to 2012 while my data is for 2010.
