Re: Re: [amibroker] Re: CXO Article code, AmiBroker Email List Archive

Line 2 is solved but the same errors in Line 1, 3, 4, 5, etc. Could you email me the afl file and I will see if that's still giving me problems.

Thanks.

Looks like you might have some spacing problems and line 2 is the real issue:

SetBacktestMode( backtestRotation al);
SetTradeDelays( 1,1,1,1); // everything delayed 1 day
SetOption("UsePrevB arEquityForPosSi zing", True);
SetOption("MinShare s", 10);
SetOption("AllowPos itionShrinking" ,True);
SetOption("AccountM argin",100) ;

Try that see what you get for errors....might be that when you copy and paste the code, the quotes around might become the "other" type of quotes - just replace them one at a time.
