Re: [amibroker] Non-functioning backtester

Tomasz,
 
I see this intermittently as well.  I run my code (which is a for loop style) in the backtester.  I have DebugView running and _TRACE statements in several places throughout my for loop.  I do this to capture the bar time of my Buy, Sell, Short and Cover statements.  If you know what conditions might cause this, great.  Otherwise I just want to report it so that you know about it.  I will try and get better repro steps for you soon.
 
Even when it does not fail as below, I see far fewer trades in the backtester grid than what is reported in DebugView.  It's almost like the loop is going too fast for the trades to get added to the grid (which doesn't seem likely, but that is the behavior).
 
Thanks,
Brian

Hello,

AmiBroker does NOT use NotifyAlert.exe and does NOT use
"common language runtime" (a .NET component).

The very first thing I suggest is to perform thorough virus scan,
because the message you get does not come from anything AmiBroker-related.

Best regards,
