Re: [amibroker] Incorrect backtest results on 2 Yahoo Databases



PureBytes Links

Trading Reference Links

Not certain what the errors are, you do not say what the problems are
One database has different price values than the other, which is
giving you slightly different test results. I can also assume the
first set of results has data that finishes in 2003
