[amibroker] Hep with Backtest

Trading Reference Links

Please help me learn the backtesting feature of AmiBroker.

I tried the tutorial within AmiBroker for a very simple test.
But it seems to short when I only want Longs, and I only want stocks.


I have two commands within the Auto Analysis window:

Buy = Cross( Close, EMA( Close, 45 ) );
Sell = Cross( EMA( Close, 45 ), Close );

Apply to: all stocks
Range:  from 1/8/03 to 4/18/03
Click:   Back Test

Results example:

$advq  Out   1/8/2003  1,195.0000  etc.
$advq  Long  1/9/2003  2,334.0000  etc.

Then it does the index's  (^)

Finally the stocks:

A    Out   1/8/2003   820.0000    etc
A    Long  3/18/2003  825.0000    etc

I do not want to go short  (Out, I think)
I do not want the mutual funds ($) or index(^).

Would someone please help me? I do not have ready access to the 
internet, so it may take a couple of days for me to respond to
any help.   Thank you
