Backtest crashing depending on time-frame about blankly HOT 3 CLOSED

Interesting, this could be because you're running on the binance sandbox exchange. Binance deletes all sandbox history data at the first of every month. When calculating RSI the algo needs a certain number of points to run the calculation - it could be throwing an error because it doesn't have enough data.

I recommend creating or using live keys so you can get really old data - you can turn trade permissions off in the setup and make them only data keys!

I would recommend checking out #68 for an example of more people having issues with the binance sandbox data.

Ah, I was not aware that Binance clears the sandbox every first of the month; just tested it on the real Binance and it works with 1 month etc. Thanks a lot for the explanation 👍
