Edit: Ok, typical , after posting this, then suddenly it does work with "Test". Is gives an output. I'd appreciate any help though as of why it suddenly works?


So I've gotten to workshop5. First of all, the scripts on the website here is slightly different from "workshop 5" script provided with Zorro 2.64.

When using the script Workshop5 embedded in Zorro 2.64 I first click Train.
After some time, the output is "Parameters stored in Workshop5_EURUSD.par" and it opens the browser with the graphs.
As expected.

But when I then click Test, it does the same again as with training. The end result is the same again, with the browser opening.

Isn't it supposed to Test the script against historical data?

It could be a bug. We will look into that. Until then, if it ever happens again, just close Zorro and open it again. The all schould work.

I'm finding the same issue with any script.
The first time the "Test" button causes testing and after the "train" button is used, the "test" button does not change the mode...
>> Restarting Zoro resets something and it will "test" until the "train" button is used...


Code:

if(is(TRAINMODE)) set(PARAMETERS);
if(is(TESTMODE)) set(PLOTNOW,LOGFILE);

solution:

put the following line in "Run":

set(PARAMETERS,TESTNOW,PLOTNOW);

>> does not make sense to me but it works...

this is definitely a constant BUG as the following script shows:

function main()
{

if(is(TRAINMODE))
watch("TRAIN MODE in MAIN\n");
if(is(TESTMODE))
watch("TEST MODE in MAIN\n");

}

1. run the script
2. hit "test" button (any number of times) and "TEST MODE in MAIN" shows for each time...
3. hit " Train" button and both "TEST MODE in MAIN" and "TRAIN MODE in MAIN" show...
4. hit "test" button and now both "TEST MODE in MAIN" and "TRAIN MODE in MAIN" show...

The only way to fix is to restart ZORRO
