Keith For what it's worth there is a file in the groups file section called AB Backtester Basics.doc.
Under AFL settings there is a list and table of what I was able to deduce from various tests. This was done in Jan 08 so there are some new functions in later AB versions. Haven't actually pursued the Backtester much since then: may have another play over the Festive Season when the markets are quiet. Hope this helps a little Regards ChrisB Keith McCombs wrote: > > I'm forever having trouble with settings in AA, because I don't want > the same settings for all my AFL formulas.
