For what it's worth there is a file in the groups file section called
AB
Backtester Basics.doc.
Under AFL settings there is a list and table of what I was able to
deduce from various tests.
This was done in Jan 08 so there are some new functions in later AB
versions.
Haven't actually pursued the Backtester much since then: may have
another play over the Festive Season when the markets are quiet.
Hope this helps a little
