[amibroker] Basic backtester settings question



PureBytes Links

Trading Reference Links



I have never used the trades and stops tabs in the backtester settings until today when I was playing around with a 3% profit target. The profit taget results worked properly in the results. However, this setting does not seem to integrate with the code in that the sell and cover signals due to the profit target do not generate trade arrows as the defined sell and cover trades do. More importantly the statement  Buy = ExRem( Buy, Sell ); does not recognize the profit target sell and therefore a subsequent Buy occuring before a defined Sell is not taken.

 

Am I missing something on using these settings or should I stick to programming all three sell signals ( sell=short, profit target, stop) in the code for this reason.
