[amibroker] Newbie Questions Related To Testing, Backups, Equity Curves & Rotational Systems

["Vacation1999" <vacation1999@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi:

Just trying to get myself organized with AMIbroker - finally getting 
around to using this platform seriously because I need to do some 
portfolio level testing.  So, here are some questions that I hope one 
or more experiened users can help answer for me.  

1.  I am testing the basic rotational system included with AMIBROKER 
5.x.  However, when viewing a chart produced using the sytsem, there 
are no trade arrrows shown.  The "Show Arrows" option in 
the "Automatic Analysis" window doesn't seem to do anything to the 
chart at all.  Am I missing a step that I should do in order to make 
this happen?

2.  Using this basic rotational system, how can I get the signals for 
the next day?  In other words, on the prior night I would like to 
print out a list of orders that I can simply key into the order entry 
system.  I can't seem to figure out how to do that.

3.  Whenever I select the "SHOW INDIVDUAL EQUITY" option from 
the "Automatic Analysis" window, it always shows one horizontal line 
on the chart - the starting equity.  It never actually shows a 
varying equity curve.  Has anyone seen this issue before?

4.  Is there a way to get a more flexible rotational system that uses 
two levels?  For example, picking the strongest sectors and then 
picking the strongest stock within that sector.  

5.  In a rotational system is there a way to control the exit or 
entry with more precision?  Eg: enter just before the end of the 
month only or avoid entering on certain days or months.

6.  On a differennt topic, how do you move your data such as 
watchlists, industry settings etc between machines (eg: from a 
desktop to a laptop)?

7.  Does anyone have a list of files that need to be backed up and 
restored in order to maintain the same environment (layouts, codes, 
templates, group settings, watchlists etc) on two machines (desktop 
and laptop)?

Thansk very much for any help on any of these questions.  I realize 
that it's a lot of questions but I can't seem to find straight 
answers to any of them in my search - maybe I'm not using the right 
search terms.

Thanks.
