Angelo, if you need to generate buy or sell signals, the Scan option with Run every (you may set it to run every n seconds) is what you need. I don't think you are looking for a continuous backtesting of your system, do you?
Load your trading system in Automatic Analisys, add AlertIf( buy/sell ) and choose Run every n sec. I'm sure it's what you're after. j On Fri, 25 Aug 2006 16:58:21 +0200, Angelo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > --- In [email protected], Graham <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> >> You can run a system in the analysis window, every X minutes. >> If you place alerts (Alertif) you can receive signals either in the >> alert window or via email >> >> -- >> Cheers >> Graham >> AB-Write >< Professional AFL Writing Service >> Yes, I write AFL code to your requirements >> http://e-wire.net.au/~eb_kavan/ab_write.htm >> >> > > > Hello Graham, thanks for the input. > > But the function "Run every X minutes" from the analysis windows > seems (to me) only usable for SCAN and FILTER. > > So one has to "manually run (backtest) a system every X minutes". > Almost impossibile to follow all day, isn't it? > > Very useful tough, reminding me the "alert if function", that does > have an important role in real time scanning. > > > But, by the way, also scanning every X minutes is not a final > solution. > I've spend the day receving real time data on two PC's with two > different softwares, and noticed that - for stop order regarding > breakout system - the SCAN option requires the breakout being > effective at the time of the scanning. > Otherwise, if you have a "false" breakout, that immediately reverse > (that is, a signal that would cost you money in real trading), > chances are the SCAN will never see it. > > So today, with same datasource, same stock, same time, it happened I > was long on one simulator and short on the other. > > This stuff requires a lot of attention, or to go towards an IB demo > account as Herman pointed out (especially for those which just trade > futures and/or US stock). > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Please note that this group is for discussion between users only. > > To get support from AmiBroker please send an e-mail directly to > SUPPORT {at} amibroker.com > > For other support material please check also: > http://www.amibroker.com/support.html > > Yahoo!
