Hi Steeve,

of course, the function will not work for backtesting (how should it know how the balance was in January?)
Maybe it would help to delete the "MyAccountBalance.dat" file manualy before backtesting. Another solution
maybe to return a fixed value for backtesting. E.g. something like this at the beginn of the GetInitAccount function:


...

íf (IsTesting()) return(10000.0);

...

Best regards,
