Subject: [amibroker] Enhancement Request - "Playback" Function
> I'd like to suggest an enhancement to Amibroker. Judging from recent
> messages, I believe others might be interested, too. If so, maybe we can
> get Tomasz in the discussion.
>
> I would like to see another function (like Scan and Backtest) in AA. I'll
> call it Playback for now. Playback would essentially be a Backtest, but
> instead of invoking an AFL script, it would prompt for the name of a
> comma-delimited file in which each record would represent a trade. Each
> record might have the following fields:
>
> 1) Ticker Symbol
> 2) Type Trade (Long or Short)
> 3) Entry Date
> 4) Exit Date - null if trade still open
> 5) Shares
> 6) Position Entry Price (Buy or Short price, depending on type trade) -
> Optional
> 7) Position Exit Price (Sell or Cover price, depending on type trade; null
> if trade still open) - Optional
> 8) Commission on Entry - Optional
> 9) Commission on Exit - Optional
>
> The optional fields above would default to the values in AA/Settings if
not
> specified. The date range used for report statistics could be calculated
> based on the earliest trade open and last trade close (or current date if
> there are open trades). (Or should the date range be based on the setting
> in the AA window, as Backtest currently works ?)
>
> A Playback function would make it much easier to do "manual" -type
> backtesting, as well as track actual trades...
