Fixing a Backtest Training-Data Error by Removing Feature Comments

Summary

This short platform troubleshooting note addresses a backtest failure that appeared after parameters were changed. Its proposed fix is to remove the inline comments from entries in the feature list. The post points readers to an example of the adjusted feature configuration, suggesting that comment text in those rows may interfere with how the platform reads or processes the list.

The note gives no explanation of the parser behavior, diagnostic evidence, or confirmation that this change resolves the error in other setups. It does not describe the original feature list or the affected parameters, so the advice is narrow and platform-specific. Treat it as a troubleshooting lead for this particular training-data error rather than a general rule for writing feature lists or validating backtests.

Key ideas

• The reported backtest error occurs after parameters are changed.
• The suggested troubleshooting step is to remove comments from rows in the feature list.
• The note provides no underlying explanation or evidence that the fix applies beyond the reported case.
