  If you use the Simulator I would ask you to update with this 
  version as it contains a bug fix.You must have Amibroker® 4.25 or 
  higher.
  You can download this update from the Amibroker 3rd Party

  Simulator Version 1.20 for Amibroker® Read 
  Me

  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. 
  ABOUT THE VB RUNTIME FILES 
  Note: This program is written using VB and requires the VB 
    runtime files to be installed. Here is a link to the VB6 runtime file for
