Re: [amibroker] AB is not respecting share size

[Potato Soup <potatosoupz@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am running an AFL within the backtester (automatic analysis) window. I figured out that in the settings dialog within the portfolio tab there is a text field for "Limit trade size as % of entry bar volume". This was responsible.

The other problem I have however is now all the sudden the back tester is ignoring signals that are definitely there on the time series, but only ignoring them for one instrument in the watchlist. It was working with this instrument before, but no longer does.

Are you doing it from the formula level ?

 

Did you notify support ?

 

Really not enough info to help constructively....

Subject: [amibroker] AB is not respecting share size

 

I'm finding the Backtester to be a bit of a black box. I set share size explicitely to 5k. It goes and opens a position with 800 shares. I have a very high account balance and no margin. I do not understand why it disobeys these basic settings. Any suggstions?
