Hi,
When writing custom backtester code, you don't deal with a "current
symbol". Instead, you deal with signals and/or open positions and/or
completed trades.
Typically, you would iterate through the bars, then at each bar you
would iterate through one or more of the above collections to do
whatever you want to do (e.g. alter position size, calculate
statistics, etc.).
For both the Signal object and the Trade object (open and completed),
a property named "Symbol" is available. This would be the closest to
what you are asking for.
Note that if the "current symbol" that you are seeking is not in the
signal collection, open trade collection, or closed trades collection
for a given bar, then you would have to use something along the lines
of the Foreign function, static variables or composites to get at the
information.
See http://www.amibroker.com/guide/a_custombacktest.html for more
information on custom backtester code.
