Re: [amibroker] Custom Backtest - EnterTrade

["Tomasz Janeczko" <groups@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

 

No need to decipher anything. Just F1 and type EnterTrade in search field and you will quickly find it.

 

Yes it is (as always) in the help:

http://www.amibroker.com/guide/a_custombacktest.html

 

Scroll to "Backtester object" and there are ALL METHODS described

 

Quote

"long EnterTrade( long Bar, string Symbol, bool bLong, float Price, float PosSize, [optional] variant PosScore, [optional] variant RoundLotSize, [optional] variant MarginDeposit, [optional] variant TickSize, [optional] variant PointValue )

 

Low-level method that enters trade on any symbol. This allows to take trades even on symbols that have no corresponding signals. If values for optional parameters are not provided then AmiBroker uses values defined in Symbol->Information window"

 

Best regards,

bo.EnterTrade(i, sig.Symbol, True, sig.Price, sig.possize);

Trying to decipher what is the function of the 3rd parameter ("True")

 

Did not see an explanation in help files

 

Thanks
