[amibroker] Re: Backtester not taking positions on all signals

I've done further investigation and found that when I do Portfolio
Backtest, the backtester just picks one stock among several signals.
When I do Individual Backtest, it picks all the signals that are
generated, yet I can't see how my portfolio progresses...

So I'm still looking for a scheme such that it enters on all signals
for the day AND progresses my portfolio.
