Hello,

I have responded, so I don't know why you are suggesting "lack of response".

Again, regardless as you call it, you are increasing position hold on single security,
and this is essentially scaling in. Plain fact.

Scaling mechanism in AB is superior to Wealth-Lab because
you can for example scale-in 12 times then scale out 4 times then scale in 6 times
and then scale out 40 times, each scale in/out having different size.
Coding this in Wealth-Lab would be nightmare because you would need
to "join" and "divide" positions by hand.

And for your information it is perfectly possible to code your system in AmiBroker.
What's more you can even do it W-L way (i.e. without "averaging" that you are so afraid of)
using backtester interface:
