@st3ppin I had the same error. Did you make sure that are your file's in the same directory ? Make also sure that all your information in backtestconfig.pl is correctly fild in. I had issue's with the database. Binance did not work for some reason, Poloniex worked for me.

Thank you. Now the backtest.pl start..
0.00 Profit - danibeni81 - 08-19-2018
First of all thanks for this great tool… and for free!!
I am quite new with programming and therefore more tan happy for getting Gekko and the BackTestTool running more or less easily.
Now I got a problem:
Although the BackTestTool seems to be working fine (by looking at the roundtrips and comparing with Gekko UI the results match), for different pairs, strategies, dates and settings I always see on the summary a PROFIT of 0.00. Nevertheless I can see the results for the best and worst trade correctly. Due to this problem, I cannot evaluate the strategies
I have read all the messages on the forum and havent found anything similar.
I have also checked the backtest-config.pl in detail and played around with it, with no sucess.
Thanks a lot if anyone can give me a hint!!!
By the way, I am using Windows 10 and installed following the "Open Source MS Windows" (with Strawberry Perl and so on) proceadure.
PS: once I become bitcoin-millionaire Ill give the helpers a good tip

Same Problem for me " I always see on the summary a PROFIT of 0.00" with Gekko 0.6.4 or 0.6.5"

I got the solution two days ago on a different forum (https://github.com/xFFFFF/Gekko-BacktestTool/issues/35) and it works for me:
You need to change in line 1280 of backtest.pl:
my @profit = $grun =~ /(?<=simulated profit:\t\t )[0-9.-][0-9.-]* $sets[1] ((.)(?=%))/;
to
my @profit = $grun =~ /(?<=profit:\t\t )[0-9.\-][0-9.\-]* $sets[1] \((.*)(?=\%\))/;
...good luck!

Anyone knows what units should be used in CandleSize:Warmup in config file?
For example hours:hours or minutes:minutes ?

I think they are both minutes:minutes.
