Thanks for your great support and awesome software!

The "^" must be the last character of the line. Its purpose is to ignore the next char, which suppose to be the New Line char. If there are spaces or tabs, it ignores one space or one tab.

It is the validation part (Second command) which gives me the issue.
I'm trying to first create strategies based on one timeframe, and then validate them on another timeframe (IS/OOS).

Trying to leverage the power of the EG tool and parameterize it all my inputs to make a dynamic script. However, I seem to be having issues with parameters when creating my CMD file.

I've done a very simple version of my script here, where it seems that the validation part will not accept the "--use_data_start" parameter.

Can one of you help me with what I am doing wrong? Or should this just be done in a different way?

EDIT1: The input/output strings are not wrapped, it's just due to the size of the text box in the forum.
EDIT2: For the data start parameters, I tried both - and _ with same issue.
