Ken,
I was mentioning NEW plugins.
I already wrote that eSignal plugin will have a facelift too.
I really remember this, trust me.
To avoid other posts about myTrack and Quotes Plus plugins:
yes they will be updated too.
Best regards,Tomasz Janeczkoamibroker.com

also were going to change the eSignal plug in to give control to the the speed
at which it cycles thru tickers…right now it is generally very poor to
unoperational in terms of filling in even several days of past history…unless
one does it one ticker at a time. I hope you could add this eSignal plug
in improvement to your overall plugin efforts.

<SPAN
>The first thing you
need to know when viewing the AB backtest reports is that every trade is
taken without consideration of the capital available. There is no portfolio
management in the backtest so you can't rely on the backtest results being
reliable in terms of portfolio consideratons. Individual Tickers?
Yes.
<SPAN
>
<SPAN
>There are some new
user supplied tools emerging to help deal with this and TJ has promised us
some exciting (my word not his) enhancements in this area. (He's been
very quiet lately in terms of beta releases and the suspense is building...
Usually when he's quiet like this something big is about to
happen... ) Fred Tonetti has just shared the "Mother of all
backtesters", PT101, and its available in the files section of this
group. Don't try to understand the logic in it 'cause Fred is from New
Jersey!
<SPAN

<SPAN
>As to your specific
questions: I haven't tried to reconcile the numbers as you have and don't
have answers for you - I suggest you forward a copy of your email to <A
href="">support@xxxxxxxxxxxxx to see if TJ
can help you.
<SPAN
>
<SPAN
>Re your last
paragraph: as I mentioned above every trade is taken regardless and
increasing the equity will not help.

<SPAN

><FONT
face="Courier New">I appreciate your helping Andrew to understand
backtesting as it could also
help me. I have been trying to understand how it works
but have been stymied by
"apparent" inconsistencies. There may be an
explanation for them but I
have searched the User Guide and the <FONT
face="Courier New">archives but have not found explanations. One
inconsistency(to me) shows up
on Andrew's results. For instance:<FONT
face="Courier New">The "Total net profit: 14240.39 does not equal the
Profit of winners: 13197.19
minus the Loss of losers: 0.00. Do theses numbers include
<FONT
face="Courier New">commissions?<FONT
face="Courier New">In my backtest the Profit of Winners less the Loss of
losers does add up to the
Total net profit, however, the number of trades does not
match the results. The
dollars of profit include all of the trades <FONT
face="Courier New">in the results but the number of trades counted is less
than a manual count.
For instance there will be 32 winning trades and 35 losing
trades but only 8 winning
trades and 18 losing trades will be totaled <FONT
face="Courier New">in the results and only 8 and 18 tickers will have a 1
for a trade in the results
listing. Am I missing something?<FONT
face="Courier New">Does the backtester take the equity and use it on the
first trade candidate and
pass on another trade candidate when it appears if all
of the equity/margin is
involved in the first trade? When the first <FONT
face="Courier New">trade is sold does it then become available for another
trade? Does that
explain why the number of trades in the results is less than the
stocks that met the buy/sell
criteria? Will increasing the equity <FONT
face="Courier New">include some of those
trades?<FONT
