Hello,

I am trying to backtest a simple trade system using the spreadsheet system for trading study. The system enters long re. short on the close of a daily outside bar, with an attached order for both the stop loss and the take profit.

However, once I begin the bar based backtest, the same error message appears numerous times in the message log:

An unhandled exception was caught in c_Chart::WindowProc. Message: 32769, wParam: 34003, lParam: 0 | 2014-06-23 20:24:47

...

Even though there are markers on the chart, where the system would have taken a trade, there are no trades recorded in the trade activity log.

Could you have a look please?

Are you using the non-CLR version of Sierra Chart? If you are not sure, then most likely you are not.

Are you using any non-built-in studies? For more help with this, refer to help topic 17 here:

I am using the normal version, and have recently updated to 1149. I am running on Windows 8.1

Also I am not using any non-built-in studies. The only studies that I am using are the volume and ATR one.

We tried duplicating the problem but could not.

In order to isolate the problem, only open a single chart. And create a new spreadsheet with a different name that you use with the Spreadsheet study and then try running the back test again.
