[amibroker] Re: Automation to load an AFL and run Portfolio Optimization



PureBytes Links

Trading Reference Links

The simplified code below runs without any syntax error. However, instead of optimizing through all 100 steps, it only does a single step. Any idea why doesn't it do all 100 steps, as coded in the Simple MA Cross afl?:


//----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// AUTOMATION CODE: Load an AFL and Run a Portfolio Optimization
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------

EnableScript("jscript");
<%

database  =
"C:\\Program Files\\Amibroker\\Data";
formula_1 =
"C:\\Simple MA Cross.afl";

AB  = new ActiveXObject(
"Broker.Application" );  
AB.LoadDatabase( database );
AA  = AB.Analysis;    

AA.LoadFormula( formula_1 );              
// load formula from external file

AA.ApplyTo       =
1;                     // use current symbol
AA.RangeMode     =
3;                     // use 'From' and 'To' dates
AA.RangeFromDate =
"11/01/2005";
AA.RangeToDate   =
"12/31/2005";
AA.Optimize(
0 );                         // run Optimize for the portfolio, which is just one symbol
//AA.Backtest();

%>
//---------END AUTOMATION AFL-------------------------------------------------
