class=858075106-06022003>Graham,
Try
it, you'll like it!! Load a favorite indicator then follow the
directions to launch the simulator. It "Plays" stock from bar one forward. Pause
to draw trend lines, not divergences etc then hit play to see if you were
correct.

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
face="Times New Roman" size=2>1.<FONT
face="Times New Roman" size=1><SPAN
>
Save the
Simulator.exe file to the Amibroker® directory. ie. c:\Program
File\Amibroker\Simulator.exe
<SPAN
>**Note: Only perform the following step if you have not
previously installed the Simulator.**
<FONT
face="Times New Roman" size=2>2.<FONT
face="Times New Roman" size=1><SPAN
>
Run
Amibroker® and open the menu items: Tools --> Customise. Add the
Simulator.exe as a NEW tool and name it 'Simulator'.
<FONT face="Times New Roman"
size=2>USAGE
INSTRUCTIONS
<FONT
face="Times New Roman" size=2>1.<FONT
face="Times New Roman" size=1><SPAN
>
Open the
ticker code you require in your simulation.
<FONT
face="Times New Roman" size=2>2.<FONT
face="Times New Roman" size=1><SPAN
>
Run the
Simulator tool from: Tools --> Simulator
<FONT
face="Times New Roman" size=2>3.<FONT
face="Times New Roman" size=1><SPAN
>
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
face="Times New Roman" size=2>4.<FONT
face="Times New Roman" size=1><SPAN
>
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
face="Times New Roman" size=2>5.<FONT
face="Times New Roman" size=1><SPAN
>
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
face="Times New Roman" size=2>6.<FONT
face="Times New Roman" size=1><SPAN
>
You can
pause and continue the simulation.
<FONT
face="Times New Roman" size=2>7.<FONT
face="Times New Roman" size=1><SPAN
>
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
face="Times New Roman" size=2>1.<FONT
face="Times New Roman" size=1><SPAN
>
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
face="Times New Roman" size=2>2.<FONT
face="Times New Roman" size=1><SPAN
>
Used a
vastly improved method to preload bars. (1000 preload bars is almost instant.)
<FONT
face="Times New Roman" size=2>3.<FONT
face="Times New Roman" size=1><SPAN
>
Fixed the
problem where numerous Amibroker® documents were opening in the background.
<FONT
face="Times New Roman" size=2>4.<FONT
face="Times New Roman" size=1><SPAN
>
Modified
the tooltip text for the text boxes.
<SPAN
>CHANGES
FOR VERSION 1.13 (as compared to 1.12)
<FONT
face="Times New Roman" size=2>1.<FONT
face="Times New Roman" size=1><SPAN
>
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
face="Times New Roman" size=2>2.<FONT
face="Times New Roman" size=1><SPAN
>
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
face="Times New Roman" size=2>1.<FONT
face="Times New Roman" size=1><SPAN
>
Modifid
the user interface so its smaller and changed the button configuration.
<FONT
face="Times New Roman" size=2>2.<FONT
face="Times New Roman" size=1><SPAN
>
Removed
the labels for the edit boxes (There are tooltips for each edit box, just hold
you cursor over them for a moment)
<FONT
face="Times New Roman" size=2>3.<FONT
face="Times New Roman" size=1><SPAN
>
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
face="Times New Roman" size=2>4.<FONT
face="Times New Roman" size=1><SPAN
>
The
selected ticker code now appears in the Amibroker® title bar and ticker list.
<FONT
face="Times New Roman" size=2>5.<FONT
face="Times New Roman" size=1><SPAN
>
The speed
of the Simular is now entered in milliseconds.
<FONT
face="Times New Roman" size=2>6.<FONT
face="Times New Roman" size=1><SPAN
>
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
face="Times New Roman" size=2>7.<FONT
face="Times New Roman" size=1><SPAN

Some
internal efficiency improvements.
