Lionel, I'm not sure what those graphic attachments are. I did not include any graphics with my message, nor do I include any kind of signature to my posts.
What I did do, however, was cut and paste amibroker code using the Rich Text Editor of the forum's web based client. I suspect that is what they are referring to. At any rate, you can see the original post in its entirety, including source, at http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/amibroker/message/149711 Mike --- In amibroker@yahoogroups.com, "Lionel Issen" <lis...@...> wrote: > > Mike: > > Where can I see your graphic(s)? > > > > Lionel > > > > From: amibroker@yahoogroups.com [mailto:amibro...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf > Of ovtrad...@... > Sent: Wednesday, May 26, 2010 5:55 AM > To: amibroker@yahoogroups.com > Subject: [amibroker] Re: Backtesting vs. Live Trade Reports > > > > > > > > Mike -- thanks for taking the time to do this, it looks like that will do > the trick.
