Thanks to all that have provided input into my "non-functioning"
backtester question. I have tracked down the problem; it
had nothing to do with what I had thought was the problem. I had
accidentally (?) placed a zero in the "Margin requirement"
box under Backtester settings/General. Nothing else; no external
influence such as a virus, or WSH corruption. A zero value here makes
no sense, of course, but it was strange that backtester appeared to
work with it (around it) sometimes. A bug in Amibroker, perhaps (?)
