[amibroker] Simulating realtime trading with AB???

["brooksrimes" <brooks@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

To: other AB users

Has anyone found a way to do realtime, simulated testing with AB? 

I have asked support about this and they suggested the SIMULATOR tool 
in the 3rd party zone: http://www.amibroker.org/3rdparty/ but it 
doesn't have any order (buy/short, etc.) features. 

Support also suggested: IB Controller help files: 
http://www.amibroker.com/at "There is a sample formula there that 
allows you to hit the orders by pressing the buttons in the 
parameters menu." 

But that is a far cry from order tools like Bracket, Button, Ninja 
trader. 

Using IB Demo Mode is not an option because the volume is non-
existant and it is not intended for realtime, simulated trading. 

The best I've come up with is using Autotrader to simulate IB and 
feed it into AB. Has anyone else done this? 

SierraCharts has many more options for simulated testing than AB, but 
I much prefer developing in AB's AFL language. 

Thanks, 
Brooks

(I also posted this question on the AB website, but posted here 
because different traders might see it.  So don't holler at me :)
