Subject : Trade Calculator Bug

Post #28754

My Profile has the following parameters:

Floating Back Test period: 200 days
Floating Forward Test period: 0 days
Optimize on Monthly boundaries.
DO: On

Starting Equity: 10,000,000
Leverage: 2

Allocation Methods Enabled (No optimization)
Fixed $ Amount: 1,000,000
% of Equity: 10%
Fixed Risk: 2% (Fixed Loss Level: 2.5)

The price of the Stock in this example is 20.95 and ATR is 1.46.

Now the problem is that when in "Test Period" Tab of PortSim I select Forward (which gives no PortSim results since it is configured at 0) I get the correct quantities in the Trade Calculator (47700, 47700, 53100 respectively) BUT when I select "Backtest" or "Both" in the Test Period Tab, the Trade Calculator shows 0 quantities for all the 3 methods.
