Subject: [amibroker] New Back Test 
Option Request
Thomas- 
Is it possible to add an option to the back test program to limit the 
amount of any single investment?  I believe the current method invests 
the entire current balance for a stock in the next trade.  I believethis 
provides two problems: 
First, the dollar results of a winning system (other than percentages) 
are biased toward the most recent trades where more money is made. 
Second, again with a strong system, after a string of successful 
investments, the model shows investing large amounts of money, sometimes in 
thinly traded issues.  This is unrealistic and leads to overoptimistic 
results. Thanks and best regards, -Tom McDaniel Your use
