This brief forum exchange addresses timezone errors when requesting data through RQData. The suggested fix is to attach VeighNa’s database timezone to the start datetime, so the requested time is timezone-aware. The original poster confirms that applying…

This discussion addresses duplicated work in multi-signal trading systems when each signal independently processes ticks and bars using a bar generator and array manager. It recommends centralizing those components in the main strategy when signals use the…
This forum exchange weighs tick-level data against minute-bar data for backtesting CTA strategies. One participant notes that a year of tick observations can exceed a computer’s practical capacity, limiting the period available for testing and parameter…
This forum thread discusses futures brokers denying or threatening to revoke CTP quantitative trading access because VeighNa's risk controls may not meet newer requirements. A community contributor says an updated risk manager module adds support for the…
This short forum exchange distinguishes callbacks triggered by incoming tick data from callbacks that run when a bar has been completed. It says the ordinary bar callback runs when a tick marks a new minute, while window-bar callbacks run when the aggregated…

The discussion explains how a VeighNa portfolio strategy handles its own position state. The strategy position data is stored in the portfolio strategy data JSON file and read when the strategy starts, so saved values can initialize the strategy’s internal…
This forum exchange discusses modeling different futures commission schedules by contract, including cases where closing a position opened the same day incurs a higher fee. It says the backtester’s basic settings handle percentage fees and describes fixed…
The author describes using an AI assistant to rebuild a customized trading application from VeighNa 3.9 to 4.3. The work covered a changed modular architecture, a new database backend, a redesigned strategy data model, and a rewritten desktop interface. The…

This post describes adapting VeighNa to use the GoldMiner market data service as a source of historical bars. It outlines the author's account of the free tier's available history, then highlights integration details: mapping bar intervals, reversing the…
A trader reports that a VeighNa RiskManager configured with very low limits still allowed repeated large buy orders to execute in a SimNow simulation. The reported behavior raises a practical question about how risk controls interact with the platform’s…
This forum exchange discusses how to identify opening executions in VeighNa when an order is sent in lock mode. In that mode, a closing action may be represented as an opposite-direction opening trade, so checking the trade’s offset in the trade callback may…
This brief forum exchange discusses how a Chinese futures platform constructs its dominant-contract continuous series and whether it offers a smoothed, adjusted series comparable to another vendor’s data. A respondent says the platform currently lacks that…
