I have a function that returns the var "AlgoForecast", which is then used to multiply with 0.65 to get a final var "Forecast" in the main run().
However, the multiplication seems to be wrong when doing so. The code is as follow:
function tradeAlgo()
{
var AlgoForecast = -12.34;
printf("#\nAlgoForecast: %.2f", AlgoForecast);
return AlgoForecast;
}
function run()
{
//Backtest configurations
set(LOGFILE);
TickTime = 500;
StartDate = 1985;
LookBack = 260;
Capital = -1000000;
BarPeriod = 1440;
Fill = 3;
Spread = Commission = 0;
RollLong = RollShort = Slippage = Penalty = 0;
var Forecast;
Forecast = 0.65*tradeAlgo();
printf("#\nForecast: %.2f", Forecast);
}
The log:
[9: Tue 85-01-15 15:40] (170.81)
AlgoForecast: -12.34
Forecast: -7.80
From the code, the AlgoFunction returns -12.34, which is multiplied with 0.65, which should give -12.34*0.65 = -8.021. However, the log shows the final result is -7.80.
