Hi,
New to this forum and to TB. I just ran a back test using TMA from 2010-01-01 to 2011-12-31. When I review the trades that would were identified they have entry and exit dates from 2007 - anyone know why my results would have dates out of scope? Thank you.

The sample data you are running on only has data through 2007 for a limited selection of stocks. Trading Blox comes packaged with a sample of such data, and expects you to use it for getting quickly up to speed and able to run simulations prior to setting up your own data source. Once you point Trading Blox at a data directory that has data updated through the latest market close, you should see your start and end dates respected.

Check the first and last test dates (the actual dates tested, not your chosen start and end dates). Your returns might be lower because you run more history once updating the data, and the additional history is less favorable for the system.
The futures sample data is kept up to date, and the stock sample data is not. What kind of error did you get (i.e. what did the debugger message say)?
