<FONT face=Arial color=blue 
size=2>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><SPAN 
>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><SPAN 
>2.<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><SPAN 
>1.<SPAN 
>        
Open the ticker code 
you require in your simulation. 
<FONT 
face="Times New Roman" size=2><SPAN 
>2.<SPAN 
>        
Run the Simulator tool 
from: Tools --> Simulator 
<FONT 
face="Times New Roman" size=2><SPAN 
>3.<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><SPAN 
>4.<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><SPAN 
>5.<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><SPAN 
>6.<SPAN 
>        
You can pause and 
continue the simulation. 
<FONT 
face="Times New Roman" size=2><SPAN 
>7.<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><SPAN 
>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><SPAN 
>2.<SPAN 
>        
Used a vastly improved 
method to preload bars. (1000 preload bars is almost instant.) 

<FONT 
face="Times New Roman" size=2><SPAN 
>3.<SPAN 
>        
Fixed the problem where 
numerous Amibroker® documents were opening in the background. 
<FONT 
face="Times New Roman" size=2><SPAN 
>4.<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><SPAN 
>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><SPAN 
>2.<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><SPAN 
>1.<SPAN 
>        
Modifid the user 
interface so its smaller and changed the button configuration. 

<FONT 
face="Times New Roman" size=2><SPAN 
>2.<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><SPAN 
>3.<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><SPAN 
>4.<SPAN 
>        
The selected ticker 
code now appears in the Amibroker® title bar and ticker list. 
<FONT 
face="Times New Roman" size=2><SPAN 
>5.<SPAN 
>        
The speed of the 
Simular is now entered in milliseconds. 
<FONT 
face="Times New Roman" size=2><SPAN 
>6.<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.

efficiency improvements.
