Re: [amibroker] back test versus porfolio back test

Yuki,

It is NOT surprising at all. It does not have any connection with beta.
There are currently no known problems with regular mode of
porfolio backtester.

Just switch to "Detailed mode"
and you will see that what happens exactly on bar-by-bar basis.

Totals will of course NOT be the same.

You are running SINGLE portfolio while old backtester runs
N-parallel portfolios. With the same initial equity old backtester
effectively has N*(number of symbols) more money than new.

The reason of most differencies is that you have run out of funds
in the backtest or run ouf of max. open positions.

Best regards,
