RE: [amibroker] Performing Backtest from Indicator ParamTrigger()

["Herman" <psytek@xxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Graham,

yes i have done that but it is but it gets rather messy during development
when code changes often. I was hoping someone had developped scripts that
can do this.

best regards,

herman

  For starters you can set the params to be read by the backtest/analysis
window. Try adding staticvarset and conditional statements for if backtest
or indicator

  if(status("action")==1) staticvarset("Var1",param("var1",5,1,10,1));
  if(status("action")>1) staticvarget("Var1");

  Never tried, nor needed to run backtest straight from chart, but you would
probably need to set a OLE type interface to run external vbs file. No idea
if this is possible

    Hello,

    has anyone written code to perform a Backtest from a ParamTrigger()?

    I trade from indicators and often want to have a quick look at how
real-trading compares to a Backtest. I would like to do this by having a
"Backtest" item in my Indicator Param window that is normally open, so that
I can perform a Backtest with a single mouse-click. btw, I know I can do it
from the editor menu but I prefer a one-click solution.

    Also, if possible, I would like the BT to use the Indicator Param
settings so I don't have to always go trough the param list to ensure they
are identical.

    Many thanks,

    herman
