[amibroker] Re: Strange behavior writing to a .csv file

["sidhartha70" <sidhartha70@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Barry... I think i've got somewhere near the bottom of it. I'm
not sure it's my code so much as what I'm doing to make AmiBroker
excute the code and thus create the file.

I get different results if I simply drag the code onto a chart vs
running it through a backtest (over all quotations)...

I'm a bit thrown because I thought SetBarRequired(100000,0) would
force it to cover the entire history if I dragged it onto a chart...
but doesn't seem to...

I suppose my general question is, when running tests of this nature
(outputting .csv files) over the ENTIRE history for a symbol, then
what's the best way to get AB to excute the code to achieve this...?

Many Thanks
