Re: [amibroker] Backtester: same bar scaleout and sell signals

["Tomasz Janeczko" <groups@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

You can do that but only using custom backtester interface.
Regular backtester allows one scaleout or exit on single bar, not both.

This sample shows how to perform scaling using custom backtester

This is more general doc:
