RE: [amibroker] backtesting multiple futures contracts

Works the same as stocks. Check the futures box in AA Settings. Then,
for each symbol you want to trade, right click and choose Information.
You will find tick size, margin deposit, etc. in there. Don't forget to
set number of tickers in AA Settings to (last tab).

Subject: [amibroker] backtesting multiple futures contracts

I have a few questions about backtesting futures
contracts. I would like to test a portfolio of
different contracts, say EURUSD, Gold, etc. Is it
possible for me to do this in amibroker? 

I have used MarginDeposit for setting margin, but can
I set different margins for different contracts in one
backtest? 

I also wonder about tick size. Should I set it to 0
for futures mode? It appears it is 0 in the user
manual, but I am not entirely sure. 

Is it possible for me to have multiple point values in
the afl so that I can test multiple contracts at once?

Thanks, 

Eric
