[amibroker] How does the Backtester work?

[Andrew Z <wizard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

G'day all,

I have a question regarding the workings of the backtester.

Say I have a price database that is made up of 5min data. If I'm using a
30 min tiemframe for my backtest, what values does the backtester use to
test against my conditions?? Does it use the absolute values at the END
of the 30min bar??? Or, as I would assume, does it check the code
conditions based on the prices of the intermediate 5min bars that make
up that 30min bar???

Cheers,
Andrew.
