Hi
Carolyn,
<FONT face="Comic Sans MS"
size=2>
Oh you
should have asked earlier :) There are so many people on here more than willing
to answer questions.
<FONT face="Comic Sans MS"
size=2>
Check that
you have Amibroker Version 4.25 or above.
Make sure
you have a Ticker displayed ie. MSFT (Microsoft)
The box
settings you have are fine.
<FONT face="Comic Sans MS"
size=2>
Then click
that little green arrow. If nothing happens then restart both Amibroker and the
Simulator and try again then if nothing happens can you email me privately and
i'll help you get it working.
<FONT face="Comic Sans MS"

<FONT face="Comic Sans MS"

William
Peters.

Simulator Version 1.14 Released for downlaod.
<SPAN
>I have waited and
waited hoping for someone braver and equally frustrated to ask a question.
I have loaded it, correctly, I hope and I have the little bar on the
screen. The start button is green the other two are white. I have 4
indicator windows open price in candlesticks, MFI, 4MACD and slow
stochastic. I have thelittle boxes set at 500, 200 and 0. When I
click the start button, nothing happens. As near as I can tell, nothing is
happening anywhere. Help!

very entertaining. Does it only work on the default price chart, or can it be

<FONT face=Arial color=blue

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.
<FONT
face="Times New Roman" size=2><SPAN
>7.<SPAN

Some internal
efficiency improvements.
