Re: [amibroker] Losing Trades in Custom Backtester

[Mark H]

TJ's way would work if you don't use PositionScore. It basically use scaleIn signals to simulate regular buys. ScaleIn signals don't have its own PosScore and are not sorted.   The way I presented in my previous post would work if you use PositionScore. All signals are sorted by PosScore under rotational mode. However, it can be much slower since there is a lot of signal sorting involved.   - Mark     ----- Original Message ----- From: Tomasz Janeczko To: amibroker@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, August 07, 2006 4:59 PM Subject: Re: [amibroker] Losing Trades in Custom Backtester Hello,   Answer is here: http://www.amibroker.com/kb/2006/04/24/using-redundant-signals-for-entries/   Best regards, Tomasz Janeczko amibroker.com ----- Original Message ----- From: C Alvarez To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]ps.com Sent: Monday, August 07, 2006 10:04 PM Subject: [amibroker] Losing Trades in Custom Backtester I am using the Custom Backtester to iterate through the Signal list. Depending on some additional conditions that I only can know at this time, I might decide to skip a trade and set the PosSize = 0. This prevents the trade from happening, as I want. The problem is that if I remove a trade from the Signal list and then the Buy array has a buy for the next day, it is not showing up the Signal list. And at this time I might want to take the trade. Any suggestions on how I can do this? Here is the simplified code. Thanks, Cey SetCustomBacktestProc(""); if( Status("action") == actionPortfolio ) {         bo = GetBacktesterObject();         bo.PreProcess(); // Initialize backtester         for(bar=0; bar<BarCount; bar++)         {                 for( sig = bo.GetFirstSignal(bar); sig; sig = bo.GetNextSignal(bar) )                 {                         if( sig.IsEntry())                         {                                 if (some_condition) // don't take trade                                 {                                         sig.PosSize = 0;                                 }                         }                 }         bo.ProcessTradeSignals(bar); // Process current bar's signals         }         bo.PostProcess(); } __._,_.___ Please note that this group is for discussion between users only.
