Is the only way to stop/quit a backtest to delete the whole thing with the thrashbin in ‘Backtest Results’?
Would be great to just stop it and keep the current result.
Is there some reason for this beeing difficult to implement?

Hey MildJoe,
to stop a running backtest, open the Resources panel, and then click the stop icon next to the backtest node. You can stop nodes that you are using, but you need stop node permissions to stop nodes other members are using.
Best,
Nico

Thanks, Nico Xenox !
Better than deleting. But can I can't seem to get a report/orders?
Too much to ask maybe? :)
Nico Xenox
Hey MildJoe,
no, that's not possible. If you stop a backtest the orders won't show and the report won't generate. To solve that problem, you could set the exact start and end time or Log/Debug orders and other important stuff you want.
Hope that helps ;)
Best,
Nico
