Refer to Optimize reference here:
http://www.amibroker.com/guide/afl/afl_view.php?id=107
e.g. Continuing with the example at hand...
"Optimize for periods between 50 - 100 days, incrementing by 25 days
(with a default of 50 days when not optimizing), and a drop of 10
cents - 25 cents, incrementing by 5 cents (with a default of 10 cents
when not optimizing)".
Period = Optimize("Period", 50, 50, 100, 25);
Offset = Optimize("Offset", 0.10, 0.10, 0.25, 0.05);
Buy = Close <= MA(Close, Periods) - Offset;
The above would give you many redundant buy signals that you might
have to remove (via ExRem) depending on your backtesting mode. If
using the default backtester mode, AmiBroker will handle that for you.
Alternatively, you could use the Cross function and avoid the
duplicate signals, found here:
