[amibroker] Re: Back testing only some results showing

Thanks guys,
I fixed the problem when I added a position size line to the code.

Out of curiosity, I find it hard to read for lengths of time and I 
also find the help file a bit of a maze. Is this the only section or 
available material that teaches all the aspects of using Amibroker to 
back test ideas?

Are there online videos etc available? I found the wizard helped me 
quite nice thanks, but it is limited to just entry and exit signals.

Many thanks
Dean
