Default Backtest not working

Hi There

I am trying to run a backtest on FGBL from 1999 to 2010, I have selected the current front month and the contract is set to MergeNonBackAdj but I an not getting any trades generated between 1999 and 2010, infact the only trades I am getting are in the Sep 12 contract which it shouldn't be showing.

Which data provider do you use? If you create a chart for the same instrument and timespan, does it look ok / complete or would you see a lot of gaps / missing data parts?

Thanks, just checking : could it be the plotting of the executions would be simply disabled on your chart? So the strategy would actually run, but you would not seen it's trade placement visualized?

Could you also please contact me directly via the Help >> Mail to Support option available in NT so I could review your trace and log files?

Thanks,
