afaik, not in a backtester. In real trading there is no problem, the
problem is to make the system
backtestable...

Re: [amibroker] A Portfolio Backtester challenge
yes, but how do I define the 'signals' variable? Signals come from
different stocks. I don't know how to 'know' how many signals there are in
my Watchlist at any time. Am i missing something
obvious/
thanks,

[amibroker] A Portfolio Backtester challenge
My portfolio trading system (1-min data) generates multiple signals
during the first few minutes of the day, i.e., between 9:30-9:35.
I want
to open new positions all at the same time, at 9:35 AM,
i.e., delay all
entries until 9:35AM, so that I can use Real-Time
Position Scoring. And,
this is the challenge, I do not want to
trade any days with less than 5
signals.
How do I make the
Portfolio Backtester only trade days with at least 5
signals and
skip days which have less than 5 signals during the first 5
minutes?
I am looking for a simple, non-CBT, solution. TIA
for any ideas you may
have!
