Is that correct Herman ? Does the code really do
what it should do ? Every time when running the AFL the report shows me the
'Current Symbol' and not my selected WatchList as coded in the AFL. Of course
after following modifications in the code :
if ( ParamTrigger( "Run Com
BT", "BT" ) )
{
WLN = 0; // the watchlist to
backtest
BRS = 100; // Number bars to test
AB = CreateObject( "Broker.Application" );
AA = AB.Analysis;
AA.LoadFormula( "C:\\Program
Files\\AmiBroker\\Formulas\\Systems\\Example.afl" );
AA.ClearFilters();
AA.Filter( WLN, "watchlist" ) ;
AA.ApplyTo = 1;
AA.RangeMode = 1;
AA.RangeN = BRS;
AA.Backtest();
AA.Report( "" );
}
Rather weird for me because AA.RangeN is being
set correctly where the AA.Filter does not do what it should do. I still don't
follow ... BTW I know that I should not do this from within an AFL. But the
reason why this is not possible still for me is a open question ...
I am also getting syntax errors when using the
code from the help file for setting the Watchlist. So "AA.Filter( 0, "market" ) = 0;" produces a syntax error and frankly
for me the above instruction seems to be rather straight forward ... Gives no
syntax error but does not do what it should do
-)
So yes, it produces a nice BT report. But the
question is, if that's the report you want to get. I could not make it work in
the way I wanted it to work ... At least not from within an AFL ...
Regards, Ton.

OK Tomasz, but the code produces a nice BT report each time i click the
Trigger. Seemingly flawless. Seems only a tweak would be required to make it
work robust.
I am going through all this trouble just to be able to access the
Backtester stats from an indicator (I was going to extract the last value from
the report on bar-by-bar BTs!).
System analysis in the time domain is frustrated/impossible because
basic AB users (non professional programmer) can't retrieve and plot the
Backtester stats, like UPI, %Winners, Number of trades, etc. Thus there is a
big void wrt system analysis - see my suggestion #1335 and support
tag [#49377].
I wish that formulas for these functions were made public so that they can
be used in indicators. This Would open up a whole new world to evaluate,
analyze, and design trading systems. The single numbers in the AA give very
limited information. With all respect, please do not mention the CBT... that
solution is for less than 10% of users and I don't have enough days left to
learn all that stuff.
best regards,
herman

But... the example in help
a) works
b) presents OUTSIDE ***JScript***
code
http://www.amibroker.com/guide/objects.html
c) does not contain
AA.Analysis.RangeN (wrong line)
Again I want to stress that out that Analysis COM
object must not be used form
AFL level. The functionality is provided to control
Automatic Analysis from OUTSIDE
of AmiBroker.

won't do. Actually 99% of this code was copied from
the AB help.

Maybe AB won't let you run a backtest
within an indicator - time to ask TJ.

On the lines that give the error
substitute a number constant for the variable and see
if it works. If it does then it looks to me like it
thinks the variables are arrays.

Can someone help me fix the code
below so that when triggered in an Indicator,
it:
1) Backtest all tickers in
watchlist WLN?
2) Use range of BRS
bars
3) Output ONLY the one line BT
Report?
Many thanks!!!!
