i keep getting, over and over, this error
can anyone help me identify what this error means, so that i can correct the situation?
Can you see the OnInit () code?
the OnInit function is mainly the base template
got a few extras for testing purposes but none of the changes had any negative effect in previous versions of code

my usual sequence of optimization goes from optimizing signals, then trail, then money
the personal MA trail part is a library created by me, and used with success, and no errors, in other project
the error is appearing during the indicator signal optimization, it starts ok and then starts giving the error
and one thing that keeps me scraching my head is that some runs it goes flawlessly and others, with the same exact paramethers, spam the error
i might need to do some filtering somewhere, like the MACD code changes, but cant find what is wrong

To understand, you need a detailed description: on what symbol, on what timeframe, ... - in general, you need data from two tabs of the tester: 
You also need a complete code and a detailed description of the reproducible actions.
