I'm using IO V2.9(Freeware) with AB V5.0.
I have an IO statement:
//IO: GOAL: WinPCT: >: 50: *
which results in an error pop-up stating:
Goal Type must be Penalty or Bonus -> *
//IO: GOAL: WinPCT: >: 50: *
Correct and Retry
At first, I thought this meant that WinPCT was not usable in a GOAL
statement. However, when I tried one of the examples from IO.DOC...
//IO: GOAL: MDD: <: 10: * // I got the same error message, I.E.,
Goal Type must be......
//IO: GOAL: MDD: <: 10: *
Correct and Retry
If I continue without making the corrections, the backtest lists the
GOAL(s) in the "IO Directives v2.9" Window as, E.G.,
Goals: MDD <10 *= // What does the "=" mean?
The backtest runs to completion, but I can't be sure if IO used the
GOAL statement.
I've searched IO.DOC and this Group, to no avail. Does anyone know why
I'm getting this error flag?
Thanks,
