You need to use foreign

CBT doesnt have a "current" ticker.

Subject: [amibroker] How to use AddCustomMetric() to add external values

I want to simply add numerical values (in columns) from an external function to the BT report. 

1) Can someone tell me why the code below does not work? Also, what is the minimum code to accomplish this?

2) Is it possible to add a text column?

Thanks,

herman

function Test()

{

    return LastValue( Open );

}

SetOption( "UseCustomBacktestProc", True );

if ( Status( "action" ) == actionPortfolio )

{

    bo = GetBacktesterObject();

    bo.PreProcess();

    for ( bar = 0; bar < BarCount; bar++ )

    {

        bo.ProcessTradeSignals( bar );

    }

    T = Test();

    bo.PostProcess();

    bo.AddCustomMetric( "Test", T );

}

// My trading system would be here

Short = Cover = 0;

Buy = Cross( MACD(), Signal() );

Sell = Cross( Signal(), MACD() );
