Hello,
Instead of working on manual backtester, wouldn't be easier to just use built-in Equity function
http://www.amibroker.com/f?equity
You can use range markers with equity too:
buy= ...
sell = your system here
graph0 = Equity( 0, 3, BeginValue( DateNum() ), EndValue( DateNum() ) );
And you will be able to see your equity chart changing immediatelly as
you change range markers.
Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko

Subject: [amibroker] Setting Beginning Date of Test Period
