RE: [amibroker] Backtesting days of the week and specific times during the day

You could try adding this to your code for Mondays 
AND DayofWeek()==1

And for the time of day 
AND Timenum()>=090000 AND Timenum()<=120000

Just some off the cuff idea, not knowing anything else about your conditions
for buy/sell

Cheers,

Subject: [amibroker] Backtesting days of the week and specific times during
the day


I would like to be able to use the backtesting feature for specific 
days of the week only (i.e., backtest or optimize on all Mondays for 
the past year). Is there an AFL code that will let me do this?

Also, I would like to be able to backtest on certain time periods 
only. (i.e., 0900-1200 each day for the past year.) 

I'm a new user and have been backtesting successfully, but haven't 
figured out how to refine my backtesting in this way.

Thanks in avdance,

James
