I'm using IO V2.9(Freeware) with AB V5.0. I have an IO statement: //IO: GOAL: WinPCT: >: 50: *
which results in an error pop-up stating: Goal Type must be Penalty or Bonus -> * //IO: GOAL: WinPCT: >: 50: * Correct and Retry At first, I thought this meant that WinPCT was not usable in a GOAL statement. However, when I tried one of the examples from IO.DOC... //IO: GOAL: MDD: <: 10: * // I got the same error message, I.E., Goal Type must be...... //IO: GOAL: MDD: <: 10: * Correct and Retry If I continue without making the corrections, the backtest lists the GOAL(s) in the "IO Directives v2.9" Window as, E.G., Goals: MDD <10 *= // What does the "=" mean? The backtest runs to completion, but I can't be sure if IO used the GOAL statement. I've searched IO.DOC and this Group, to no avail. Does anyone know why I'm getting this error flag? Thanks, --El Nanalo
