Hi,
I am new to quantconnect and facing this weird error while backtesting my strategy. I am using quantconnect EUR USD data from March 2014 to Dec 2014. I am not sure if it is a data problem or I did something wrong in mys strategy. Did any one else had face similar problem?
System.ArgumentException: This is a forward only indicator: EMA13(EURUSD_min) Input: 2014-03-02 17:01:00Z Previous: 2014-03-02 17:05:00Z
Any help is highly appreciated!
Thanks

I don't want to speculate on possible causes, so could you please share the algorithm (use attach backtest feature below)?

Hi,
I can select the project but I am unable to attach Backtest with error.
Alexandre Catarino
In the comment box in the forum, there is a link "Attach Backtest". Once you click in it, it will show two drop downs. In the first, we select the project: in you case, it is called "Basic Templace (C#)". Then the second drop down will be enabled and show the backtest name.
Please try again.
