Hi Dwi,



To backtest a strategy on a currency pair, you have to type FXCM followed by a colon ( followed by the symbol. Please try using 'FXCM:USD/JPY' as the symbol. Also make sure to select the FX Minute in the Dataset dropbox.



Doing this, you should be able to backtest your strategy. Let me know if you still face an issue.



Thanks!

Works like a charm. Thanks!



Although i'd suggest to put this small comment in the code template to avoid any confusion for any future students
