hi Jonathan,
 
it gave output to the statistics output window when I tested it.
 
I am pretty new to CBI coding myself but I am starting to learn a little.  I just used the available documentation in Amibroker and some examples. 
 
Maybe I did not understand what you want to do. Where do you want to write the output to? To the AA window or to the Statistics report?  If you want to display test in the AA window your need to use:
 
bo.RawTextOutput( );
 
regards, Ed

Ed,

tried this last night and, for whatever reason, it didn't work. it ran
ok, but no "open" metric was added to the backtester/optimization
report. any ideas? or, any advice on how you learned to program with
the backtester interface?

thanks,

Jonathan
