Multiplier on symbol, what is this, the number of shares? What have you set your commission to? Commissions are subtracted from p/l. If your multiplier is not #shares (since you show $250) are you talking about futures? What have you set Tick Size and Round Lot Size to?
I and many other have checked the back-tester many times. No one has ever found an error. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of sslack88 Sent: Wednesday, June 14, 2006 11:53 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [amibroker] Profit calculation errors in backtest report After creating a backtest I was looking at the profit calculation on the backtest report. I have noticed a lot of profit calculations being off by +/- $0.01 or $0.02. It seems like a rounding error, or decimal place error. Entry was 607.08 Exit was 606.65 Difference is -0.43 Multiplier on Symbol is $250 Profit should be (250 * -0.43) = -107.50 However, the profit is showing -107.48 What is the issue with this?
