[amibroker] Passing array to Backtester

Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to add Risk and R-Multiples to the TradeList.  I've looked  
at the example using MaxLossPercent to add r-multiples and that is  
pretty straight forward.  However, my risk per trade is based on some  
multiple of the ATR.  So I put the risk points per trade in an array,  
then I tried using the addtocomposite and Foreign functions to get  
this array to the backtester section, but it seems that all the data  
is zero when it gets to the backtester.  Is there any other way to  
make this array holding the risks per trade available to the  
backtester to output this for each trade?

Here's some of the code:-


Risk = 2.5 * ATR(14);
i = 0;
MSL = 0;
for( bar=1; bar < BarCount; bar++)
{
	if (Buy[bar] == 1 OR Short[bar] == 1)
	{
		MSL[i] = Risk[bar];
//		_TRACE("MSL = " + MSL[i]);  //this outputs correct values
		i++;
	}
}
AddToComposite( MSL,"~MSL","V", atcFlagDeleteValues |  
atcFlagEnableInBacktest);   // if i plot this it looks fine

...

if(AAAction == actionPortfolio)
{
	MSL = Foreign("~MSL", "X",0);
	_TRACE("MSL=" + MSL[0]);   // this output 0 for every index in the  
array
	...

}
