Re: [amibroker] backtesting multiple systems on one security

Here is an untested idea.

Step 1 - Make a copy of the stock or future you want to
use. Addtocomposite could be used for this.

That would give you something like the following:
IBM
IBM_copy
IBM_copy2
IBM_copy3
etc.

Step 2 - Then add a naeme filter to your code for each
system:

...your code for the first system...
AND name() == "IBM";

...your code for the second system....
AND name() == "IBM_copy";

etc.

Note on Step 2 - The code might need to be rephrased in
"IIF" statements to work properly.

Good luck.
