Hi rhw8,
Not sure if I'm reading you correctly, but from what I know, the detailed
report will also show "non transaction" data. What this means is that the
detailed log will also show you data relating to what calculations and
"decisions" were required by the back tester . So will be at least 1 row
reported from each bar in the test data.
What you should do is "tick off" the transactions in the summary against the
detailed log and see where the differences (if any) lie. I'm a bit of a newbie
as well and this is the sort of stuff I'm doing to get a better feel for what
AB is about.
Hope this helps
RZ

Subject: [amibroker] Backtest Results Wrong?
A newbie question: When I run a backtest, I then go to the setting menu and
ask for the detailed log, and run it. I then ask for the summary report.
Althought the detailed log shows many transactions for the period of the
backtest, the summary report for the same thing shows only a few transactions.
Is there and error somewhere, or am I not understanding it?
Thanks.
