I broke my MACD?

[ClassicStyleATX]

Any idea what I could have done to my linux install that would have broken MACD (and seemingly only that strat)? 

Symptom: GUI Backtesting MACD yields no transactions, regardless of parameters, candles, duration of dataset, etc.

All other default strats seem to work.

I've wiped my Gekko directory, reinstalled, and still nothing. I've force npm reinstalled mathjs, nodejs, and others, but nothing's working. Is there a module I can force update that might fix this? Would appreciate some guidance if anyone has run into this before. I really don't want to wipe my AWS instance. :

Also, I noticed I've been getting this if I try to run varPPO:

Code:

  xxx POST /api/backtest 500 141ms -

  Error: non-error thrown: [object Object]
      at Object.onerror (/home/bitnami/gekko/node_modules/koa/lib/context.js:105:40)
      at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:68:7)

Thanks,

Very strange, unfortunately the current stable release does not properly report errors (when running certain things in the UI). I pushed a logging fix in the develop branch. Would you mind running that and trying again? Instructions are here: https://gekko.wizb.it/docs/installation/...lop-branch

That way we'll be able to see the actual error message. Thanks!

Already have that pull, and debug output from node gekko --ui isn't giving anything valuable. Also, the /gekko/logs folder is empty.

That's just a warning. And there is nothing at the bottom? Very strange..

Yup, that's all. I'm going to try restarting the server in the morning, but after that, I'm kind of out of ideas beyond wiping the instance and starting over... Thanks for the help, Mike.

Would you mind running the same backtest over the commandline? That will definitely spit out a more usable error. Here is a guide: https://forum.gekko.wizb.it/thread-57581.html

All right, running in CLI, here's what I get:

At the end, after letting everything run, there's no performance analysis.  It just ends after the MACD calculation for the final candle.
