Re: [amibroker] Backtesting personal trading style.

Nope, that's not what I am looking for.  SetTradeDelays() delays trade after the signal.  Assuming I have SetTradeDelays(1,1,1,1), then if I have a buy signal yesterday, backtester will buy a stock today even if I had max positions yesterday and sold one position at open today.  Under these circumstances, I do not want backtester to buy anything today, but instead be able to buy only one stock tomorrow.

I think you are looking for settradedelays()

Subject: [amibroker] Backtesting personal trading style.

I'm trying to backtest a system using "MaxOpenPositions".  However, I want  a 
day between the sale of  a stock and the purchase of  a new one.  For example 
say, I have MaxOpenPositions set to 5;  Yesterday I had 5 open positions.  Today 
I sell  one position.  I want AB to wait at least until tomorrow before buying a 
new position to replace the one I sold.

Any way to do this?
Thanks.  -- Keith
