positions ?
Being rather new to Amibroker and this board and not having 
mastered code writing yet, I wonder if I may ask,for many I am sure, a 
simple question relating to equity backtesting.I have tried many 
options and searched the archive, but to no avail.The question is 
related to the following:I have a timing signal (imported) which I use 
to BUY a particular fund or selection of funds in AA under backtester. 
When I SELL, I will go into cash.... I cannot short the 
fund.However, I can by an inverse fund, simulating a short position 
rather than go into cash during the Sell period of my timing 
signal.I would like to know how to test (code) a system, where I buy 
i.e. ARTKX (long) on a buy signal, and buy i.e. SHPIX (short) during a sell 
signal and show (plot) the composite returns etc.Forgive me, if I 
have overlooked this in the help files.Robert van
