Steve,
1. This is not directly supported by AFL. With plugins you
theoretically can do this but this would require writing your own Equity()
function and storing all intermediate
results by yourself in RAM and/or external files. This is
quite a lot of work
2. There are plans to support this directly in
AmiBroker by the end of this year.
3. Yes you can write a stand alone exe but accessing quotes
across process boundaries (two .EXEs) is not too fast. It is better to write it
as a DLL or ActiveX DLL. (see point 1)
Best regards,Tomasz Janeczkoamibroker.com

Subject: [amibroker] TJ - Plug-in
capabilities?
Hi TJ,
Hope you had a very nice vacation. Welcome
back!
My employer will pay for me to take classes, so I am
thinking about signing up for a class in object-oriented programming. I just
have a couple of questions regarding what types of testing it would be
possible to do in AB with scripts/plug-ins. What I would like to do is
this:
On the 1st day of the backtest period, test all stocks in
list for my buy signals, evaluate the ones that pass and
buy the one that best meets my criteria. Later, when I get a sell signal,
sell that stock and buy a (probably) different one using the same test
procedure as before. So, for example, over a 2 year period, my test would
consist of buying and selling maybe 10 or 20 different stocks, using the same
system. My questions are:
1. Using a script or plug-in, would it be possible todo
this now in AB?
2. If not, any plans to add this capability in the
future?
3. If not possible now, could I instead write a
stand-alone .exe which would access the AB database directly via Object Model
or some other method and do this? In this case, I guess I would not
actually be using AB itself, just its database. The idea would be to do this
type of multi-stock testing and get the results by creating my
own report. Thank you very much for any help or advice!
Best Wishes,
SteveYour
