Thanks Ed,
That is where I am now. The bo.PreProcess method
unfortunately
filters out "redundant" buy signals.
I tried skipping
the PreProcess method, but it looks as though some
of the other objects
are not initialized and I get errors.
The problem I am trying to work
around is that I need the
positionscore for the scalein signal. Scalling
in for my systems
needs to be sorted with all the other buy
signals.
I am frustratedily chasing my tail here.
There seems to
me to be a fundemental flaw for scaling-in in
portfolio testing. At the
trading system level - before the
backtester runs, I don't know if the
trade is going to actually
execute in the backtest (whether it has a high
enough priority). So
how can I decide to scaleIn when I don't know that I
am in?
I could handle all this at the low-level of the backtester, but
the
low level doesn't seem low enough, as it filters out the buy
signals.
maybe I am missing something, but i don't even know where to
look. I
have read everything I can on the backtester, knowledge-base,
looked
at other code.
signed - stuck

bo.Preprocess
you will get all the signals (I think there is a
maximum that Amibroker
stores, 2*MaxOpenPositons ).

you want want to view the signals after a backtest is done, so
only
looking at the signals the backtester has chosen I am not sure
if that
works with in the same way. But you could maybe walk through
the trade
object which contains.
