The block has nothing to do with it. Try to start over with the (corrupt?) strategy. Create it from scratch, then add the Block again.

I didn't create any coded strategy I was only using blocks to create the strategy.
BTW it works fine if I input other indicators in the block (where red arrow is).

It works fine for me with the RSI block, predictably. It's something else.

Check your custom indicators, did you perhaps create one called "RSI"? Custom Indicators can be found at the bottom of the indicators list.

I guess you hit the nail on the head: I was just able to reproduce the issue with the duplicate custom RSI indicator.

We'll handle this case for future usage of the RSI/ATR templates starting from B69.

There were duplicates but I didn't create one but in any case WL8 should not let you create another indicator with the same name no?

Unlike WL6, in WL8 you should be defining your custom indicator within the ...
CODE:
namespace WealthLab.Indicators {...}
block so all WL8 indicators have unique names and the C# compiler enforces that. Perhaps you missed doing that? Check your indicator code.

No. We can’t possibly police all user errors. This is a development tool and there are plenty of errors you can make but at least we learned how to avoid one today.

It was my fault actually, I believe I accidentally created a copy of the sample RSI in Indicator Builder. But in reality WL8 is "policing" the indicator files because it will not let you create a copy of the indicator in any folder, it only saves to My Indicators folder. It will not create a copy in the same folder. .Which is also a Microsoft Windows filing standard.

To be fair, we're still not policing things, a user can still create a custom indicator named RSI and run into this problem. But we changed to names of our template indicators (the little buttons along the bottom) so the problem won't happen frequently any longer.

I run into this same problem each time I try to backtest the Published Strategy called "Fechou_Dentro_RSI2"
