REQUIREMENTS

  Windows 95 or higher 
  Amibroker® 4.25 or higher 
  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. 
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

  Save the Simulator.exe file to the Amibroker® directory. ie. c:\Program 
  File\Amibroker\Simulator.exe 
  **Note: Only perform the following step if you have not previously 
  installed the Simulator.**
  Run Amibroker® and open the menu items: Tools --> Customise. Add the 
  Simulator.exe as a NEW tool and name it 'Simulator'. 

USAGE INSTRUCTIONS 

  Open the ticker code you require in your simulation. 
  Run the Simulator tool from: Tools --> Simulator 
  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. 
  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. 
  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. 
  You can pause and continue the simulation. 
  To use the Simlator on another ticker. First 'Stop' the simulation, then 
  open the new ticker and click 'Run' 
CHANGES 
FOR VERSION 1.20 (as compared to 1.14)

  Fixed bug connected with regional settings. Currencies with a comma for 
  the decimal place were affecting the preload bars. 
CHANGES 
FOR VERSION 1.14 (as compared to 1.13)

  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. 
  Used a vastly improved method to preload bars. (1000 preload bars is 
  almost instant.) 
  Fixed the problem where numerous Amibroker® documents were opening in the 
  background. 
  Modified the tooltip text for the text boxes. 
CHANGES 
FOR VERSION 1.13 (as compared to 1.12)

  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. 
  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. 
CHANGES 
FOR VERSION 1.12 (as compared to 1.0)

  Modifid the user interface so its smaller and changed the button 
  configuration. 
  Removed the labels for the edit boxes (There are tooltips for each edit 
  box, just hold you cursor over them for a moment) 
  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. 
  The selected ticker code now appears in the Amibroker® title bar and 
  ticker list. 
  The speed of the Simular is now entered in milliseconds. 
  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. 
  Some internal efficiency improvements.
