[amibroker] Re: I'm Not Getting a Backtest list or Scan list

The default was set to 10%. I tried playing around with this to see 
if I could get it to work, but I have not had any luck.  I also 
tried setting the field to zero.  No results there either.  Its 
strange how this only happens on certain issues.  Any other remedy 
ideas??  

Thank you for your help.
