Strategy tester stops for no reason at a certain date.
As you can see, the tester works perfectly well, but when it gets to 2006-11-03 (vertical blue crosshair line) it will stop. No matter what testing dates I select it always stops at that point so I have to do another testing from a few days after all the way to 2014. I never had this problem before and it happens in all five computers, some linux, some windows.
Do you have any clue?

gooly: have you looked in the journal tab, was there a zero-devide? |
FXT file too large, zero divide, or infinite loop - not returning from start/OnInit. (Add a print at start and at the return.) |
How big is your .fxt file ?
Thank you Raptor, see, EURUSD1440_0.fxt is 1.7 Gb. Hope that helps.
Forgot to say, it doesn't happen with other EA's. I do not have any date related coding (well, if I did the last operation would not say "close at stop".)

Thank you gooly.

I didn't have time to check out a Trailing Stop error that I have, but it doesn't bother the execution of the bot, it just doesn't trail-stop properly. All operations are opened with SL and TP (only one operation can be open at any time), as you can see in the graphic, and in the last operation neither of them is reached on 2006.11.03 05:37 when it is closed to never open an operation again. You can also see that there are many operations, the circumstances to open operation happen quite often.

Thank you WHRoeder.
I am afraid I am still not that skilled on programming, I have never handled the "print". How can I know if I have an infinite loop that happens exactly on 2006.11.03 05:37 and not on any of the 510 previous operations?
The code is very simple working with a single moving average, the establishment of SL and TP at the very time of opening the operation and a trailing stop (not working properly yet, but it just gives a 130 error so it can not modify a stop loss with an impossible price, but the original SL remains).
Operations are only closed when reaching either SL or TP, no conditional close in the code. The last operation (number 511) got to open, established the SL and TP, never reached the SL or TP prices and closed as if it got to the end of the testing period, everything would have worked perfectly if the testing period was to end on 2006.11.03 05:37 but there are still years to go up to 2014.

See? Very simple code.
Just put at several places of the OnTick()-function:
