Re: [amibroker] How to tell the current long position value?

["Edward Pottasch" <empottasch@xxxxxxxxx>]

hi,

you will need the custom backtester, see e.g.

http://www.amibroker.com/guide/a_custombacktest.html

http://www.amibroker.com/docs/Houston2.pdf

you will need to run code that "interacts" with the backtest. Results of the backtest is stored in an object and through methods you can read these results and you can also alter the backtest itself.

regards, Ed

  Can I ask AFL for the current long position value? I am writing a 
  backtest and I want to know whether profit on a stock has retreated 
  since I went long.

  Is there a way to ask the backtester for the current value of a 
  position, and also to find out the highest close price since I went 
  long?

  Many thanks!
