Backtest is failed.

[mayurmahajan]

Gekko BacktestTool is coming up with empty results set for the candles/strategies/pairs. I have tried various combinations.

@strategies = qw(
MACD
);

@pairs = qw(
poloniex:ALL
);

@WarmUp = qw(
1:1
);

mycomputer:~/github/gekko/gekkobacktesttool (gekko) (develop)
$ ls history/
poloniex_0.1.db (I made sure it's not empty)

Not sure why the backtesttool is giving me empty result set:

I have the same problem. Did you have a solution ?

Still having the same problem almost a year later.

There might be some message hiding behind the "USDT-BTC Backtest is failed." message.
You may add the below code right before the line 1471 in backtest.pl, and you may find out the hidden message as it puts you in the debug mode:

@error = $grun;

Gekko-BacktestTool/backtest.pl

Line 1471 in 9180779

print "$sets[1]-$sets[2] Backtest is failed. @error\n";

In my case , I found the error similar to the below issue:
#27
