Where can I get help on using Wealth-Lab?Why does my chart show a strange discontinuity/price jump?
You can verify whether the Norgate Data database is showing the issue by using the Data Viewer app, available from the Norgate Data Updater. Click the Tools menu and select Data Viewer.
If the data within Data Viewer does not have the discontinuity, then it's likely that one of the other providers within Wealth-Lab (such as Nasdaq) has been enabled. Within Data Manager, make sure that other providers are unticked in the Event Provider tab, otherwise you may see inconsistent price adjustments to your chart or strange results in your backtest.
Why are there no Current & Past Data Sets showing?
You need to have an active subscription to Norgate Data at the Platinum or Diamond level to be able to access Current & Past watchlists. If you have recently upgraded, please make sure you have run an update within Norgate Data Updater. You'll also need to restart the Wealth Lab app.
How can I speed up a strategy backtest in Wealth-Lab 6.9?
- In Wealth-Lab 6.9, limit the Data Range of your backtest:
- In addition, if you are using Wealth-Lab 6.9, you should consider upgrading to Wealth-Lab 8. It has the ability to your CPU to its maximum extent through multithreading.
- If you are backtesting against many securities (such as index constituents), it doesn't make any sense to calculate the buy-and-hold across all securities in the DataSet. Instead, set the Benchmark Buy & Hold to a specific symbol, for example $SPXTR (S&P 500 Total Return Index) inside File->Preferences->Backtest Settings, and change the field Benchmark Buy & Hold.
