Re: [amibroker] TJ - Plug-in capabilities?

["Steve Dugas" <sjdugas@xxxx>]

TJ and Richard,
 
Thank you very much for the response. Now that I 
hear the term "dynamic portfolio", it does ring a bell. Very gladto 
know this will be added - I had planned to make all my  
$$$Millions$$$  immediately, but I guess now I will wait 6 monthsfor 
AB to support it : - )
 
(it would probably take me 5 years to write it 
anyway)
 
Thanks again,
 
Steve

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. Ijust 
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 to do 
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,
