Bistrader Thanks for this. I've had trouble stepping through DateTime() in CBT and using _Trace to follow what's what. This simple code helps with understanding. Thanks! Dave - Original Message - From: bistrader To: amibroker@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, September 14, 2009

I had reached the same conclusion, that i would need to use the CBI to work around this, but I'm very happy to have avoided it. This problem only happens if you are managing your stops manually -- here is how you can fake it so it thinks you are using applystop(), and it solves this problem.

I read Graham's note as that you can use the value in sell array to tell what has happened, probably for reporting purpose. Obviously there is some undocumented effect of setting the value. I would be wary of this kind of hack, because sometimes one doesn't really know what's going on. I like the

CBT Discussion. I have been using CBT. I have read the documentation and presentations. These provide some help. Some. I was surprise to find that IsEntry() and others have no meaning with rotational trading. This was very confusing to me. I do not understand the reasoning but I am

Its a fair point...i really need to look into switching over to the CBI. I need to quit my job so i can do this full time. I have had my share of experiences with curve fitting, but i really thought i had a solid system this time. 10+ years of backtesting, 1000's of trades, consistent

[amibroker] Quick Question about Max System Drawdown

2009-09-16 Thread Brandon_Ridenour
Hi All, A quick simple question about Max System Drawdown -- if I am using margin in the backtest (for example, set to 50), does the max drawdown only reflect my % loss of equity? Or is it loss of portfolio value? For example, if i were setting margin to 50, and MDD reached 50%, I would be

DrawDown has nothing to do with your margin, it is the percentage drop from peak equity. Margin controls how much you can trade. On Wed, Sep 16, 2009 at 5:02 PM, Brandon_Ridenour brandon_riden...@yahoo.com wrote: Hi All, A quick simple question about Max System Drawdown -- if I am using

Curve fitting is one of the two main pitfalls in stock system development (the other is survivorship bias). They come in many forms and have cost me a lot of $$$. I would be very cautious if there are more than 3 degrees of freedom (variables). Forward walking and 3-D analysis would help, but it
