Re: [amibroker] Walk Forward Testing

Hello,

It is possible to generate reports during WalkForward now,
but please be warned that it will mean large number of reports
(for each and every backtest run under in-sample and out of sample).

http://www.amibroker.com/guide/afl/afl_view.php?setoption

By adding:

SetOption("GenerateReport", 1 );

you will cause full report generation for each optimization step

by adding

SetOption("GenerateReport", 2 );

only one-line report will be generated (in results.rlst file) viewable as single line in Report Explorer 

Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
