Ken-
Sorry to be so late with my input on this thread but I am currently 5239
messages behind! It's hell to have to work for a living and I clearly am
not bright enough to trade for a living!
I have had good success with Macro Scheduler to automate many programs and
processes. I have automated a nightly AB/Yahoo download and downloads from
CBOE as well as automating several other programs.

I do a lot of repetitive optimizations and wanted to execute just 10 or
so keystrokes and mouseclicks, but like I said, AB crashed. Someone said
they tried the macro.exe program on AB and it worked ok so I will retest.
I
know you are thinking of DOS batch file operations, but I do not think that
is in the cards for AB, at least not for awhile. I would bet that this
macro program could do what you want, but it would take some effort to set
up. There is a script section wherein you could record the keystrokes and
mouseclicks to do some of your file manipulations, saving, etc. Then go
into the script editor and copy and paste and change file names and thus
replicate thru all of the different files you want to process without having
to sit there and record EVERY keystroke. Of course, this is just speculation
on my part.

Hi Ken,
Thank you very much for your reply. If you dont mind
me asking, how were you planning to use this program with AB? I only ask
because I have never used one of these recorder programs, and I am not sure
if it could do what I had in mind. My idea was that, because the time I
have to work with AB is very limited (about 1 or 2 hours a night, a bit more
on weekends), it occured to me that I could really improve my productivity
if I could write a script or plug-in that would set up a list of files
for AB to run and then call it to run them, and save each test to a file.
It would work similar to a job control language running a batch job. That
way, I could put my list together every night and run it when I go to bed
- it could run all night and all the next day, and all the results would
be waiting for me when I get home from work. But, I really dont know if
it would even be possible to do this. What do you think? Thanks again!
Steve

Steve:
I
downloaded for trial a "macro" program in which you can record keystrokes,
mousemovements, mouseclicks, etc. It is claimed to work in any program
and seems to work fine with programs like Excel, Word, etc. When I tried
to record mouseclicks and movements within AB, AB crashed.
Oh,
well. Maybe some other macro program would work within AB but I have
not tried it.
The
web site of the macro program is

Hi everyone, especially all programming gurus :
- )
I was just curious if, by using a script, .dll, or whatever, it
would be possible to write something like a macro to have AB do testing in
"batch mode"?
For example, read File A, perform the backtest in
that file on Watchlist 1, write results to a CSV file. When that is done,
read File B and perform the exploration there on Group 3, write those
results to another file, etc...Is it possible? Thanks very much!
