Re: [GT] Trouble with backtest.pl and beancounter

Thanks for the reply.

Regarding: "The beancounter DB module does not support intraday data."
I did some checking to figure out what the problem with my data, so I added the $code to the message, so I could see what data was in my database for that code.

As it turns out, there was no historical data for the codes returning this error.

It seems this error is misleading.  It's not that beancounter doesn't support intraday data for $code, it is that no data is available for $code.

In general, when you see this error this means that the market data was
not successfully loaded. GT will then try to load smaller and smaller
timeframes, until it successfully loads some data, or in the case of
beancounter, dies with the message below.
