VB6
Runtime Files (See Note at bottom of this page to obtain these files if they
are not already intalled on your computer). The Simulator should still run with
the older VB5 runtime files, just try it first. Also ensure you try running the
Simulator before downloading and installing these files as they might already
be installed on your system.
<span
>INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
<font size=2
face="Times New Roman">1.<font size=1
face="Times New Roman">

<font size=2
face="Times New Roman">USAGE
INSTRUCTIONS
<font size=2
face="Times New Roman">1.<font size=1
face="Times New Roman">
Open
the ticker code you require in your simulation.
<font size=2
face="Times New Roman">2.<font size=1
face="Times New Roman">
Run the
Simulator tool from: Tools --> Simulator
<font size=2
face="Times New Roman">3.<font size=1
face="Times New Roman">
Enter
the prefered speed: Default is 50 milliseconds. As an example if you want it to
run slower enter 1000. The range is between 0 and 10000 milliseconds.
<font size=2
face="Times New Roman">4.<font size=1
face="Times New Roman">
Enter
the number of bars for the simulation: ie. 252 bars is approx 1 year for a
daily simulation. If you enter 0 then the program will use all available bars.
<font size=2
face="Times New Roman">5.<font size=1
face="Times New Roman">
If you
are working with an indicator that has a lag period then you can set the
preload period so the program will start at the point where the indicator kicks
in.
<font size=2
face="Times New Roman">6.<font size=1
face="Times New Roman">
You can
pause and continue the simulation.
<font size=2
face="Times New Roman">7.<font size=1
face="Times New Roman">
To use
the Simlator on another ticker. First 'Stop' the simulation, then open the new
ticker and click 'Run'
<span
>CHANGES
FOR VERSION 1.14 (as compared to 1.13)
<font size=2
face="Times New Roman">1.<font size=1
face="Times New Roman">
Re-wrote
routines using the new Retrieve method to get the quotes. This has resulted in
a significant increase in the overall speed of the program.
<font size=2
face="Times New Roman">2.<font size=1
face="Times New Roman">
Used a
vastly improved method to preload bars. (1000 preload bars is almost instant.)
<font size=2
face="Times New Roman">3.<font size=1
face="Times New Roman">
Fixed
the problem where numerous Amibroker® documents were opening in the
background.
<font size=2
face="Times New Roman">4.<font size=1
face="Times New Roman">
Modified
the tooltip text for the text boxes.
<span
>CHANGES
FOR VERSION 1.13 (as compared to 1.12)
<font size=2
face="Times New Roman">1.<font size=1
face="Times New Roman">
The
pause and stop button now take effect for the currently displayed bar. There
was previously an overun of 1 bar before they took effect.
<font size=2
face="Times New Roman">2.<font size=1
face="Times New Roman">
You can
now change the delay time (milliseconds) after the user clicks the pause
button. There was a bug in the previous version which ignored that setting.
<span
>CHANGES
FOR VERSION 1.12 (as compared to 1.0)
<font size=2
face="Times New Roman">1.<font size=1
face="Times New Roman">
Modifid
the user interface so its smaller and changed the button configuration.
<font size=2
face="Times New Roman">2.<font size=1
face="Times New Roman">
Removed
the labels for the edit boxes (There are tooltips for each edit box, just hold
you cursor over them for a moment)
<font size=2
face="Times New Roman">3.<font size=1
face="Times New Roman">
Added a
new parameter to preload a specified number of days. This is helpful if you
have an indicator that only kicks in after quite a long period. For example a
200 day MA will only start drawing after 200 days have passed requiring the
user to wait until 200 days have passed before viewing the indicator.
<font size=2
face="Times New Roman">4.<font size=1
face="Times New Roman">
The
selected ticker code now appears in the Amibroker® title bar and ticker list.
<font size=2
face="Times New Roman">5.<font size=1
face="Times New Roman">
The
speed of the Simular is now entered in milliseconds.
<font size=2
face="Times New Roman">6.<font size=1
face="Times New Roman">
The
Simulator program now starts up as a child window to the Amibroker®
program. If you minimize or move the Amibroker® program the Simulator will
also minimize or move with the main program. Very simular to the the AA window.
<font size=2
face="Times New Roman">7.<font size=1
face="Times New Roman">
Some
internal efficiency improvements.
