Comment on Plotting Trade-Lines by Progster

Progster — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 13:28:28 +0000

At the risk of being obvious, you can plot the lines as dashed by substituting this for the last line:

Plot( CombinedLine, “”, CombinedColor, styleDashed );

Herman, this is great! Am slammed right now but will definitely be testing out the code.

You did forget a few items though ….
“time to drink some water”
“get up and stretch”
“sit up straight you slouch!”
hehe

Herman, This is great. I was able to incorporate tips on my chart buttons in a quarter the time it would have taken without your post. Thanks!

Hello tom,

If need be please contact the author, Tomasz at AB Support, on this. I know extremely little about changing the registry.

Best regards,

Hello Herman, thanks for your enormous efforts! I’m really looking forward to it.

One question regarding post #151255 on the main Amibroekr list.
Doesnt it rather have to be
HKCU/Software/TJP/Broker/Settings/EnableHiresRTR, DWORD value = 1
instead of
HKCU/Software/Broker/Settings/EnableHiresRTR, DWORD value = 1

Look very promising. One bar improvement in lag could be very significant.

Comment on AmiBroker Custom Backtester Interface by Jeff

Jeff — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 01:22:10 +0000

//The following allows you to backtest with no compounding. This works if setpositionsize() takes number of shares.

CCapital=100000;//capital to maintain

if (Status(“action”) == actionPortfolio)
{
bo = GetBacktesterObject(); // Get backtester object
bo.PreProcess(); // Do pre-processing
for (i = 0; i < BarCount; i++) // Loop through all bars
{ eq=bo.Equity;
totval=totval1=totval2=0;
for (sig = bo.GetFirstSignal(i); sig; sig = bo.GetNextSignal(i))
{ // Loop through all signals at this bar

if (sig.IsEntry() && sig.IsLong() ) // If this signal is a long entry (ie. buy)
{
psize = sig.PosSize; // Get position size specified in AFL code
if (psize 0)
{ totval2=totval2+psize;

}
_TRACE(“totval2 = “+WriteVal(totval2+totval1));
if((totval1+totval2)<100000)
sig.PosSize=psize;
else sig.PosSize=0;
//stuff=totval1+totval2; // Set modified position size back into object
}

} // End of for loop over signals at this bar
bo.ProcessTradeSignals(i); // Process trades at this bar
} // End of for loop over bars
bo.PostProcess(); // Do post-processing
}

Comment on High-Precision Delay and Interval Timing by Herman

Herman — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 16:33:01 +0000

Correct, however the final practical result for the non-technical user is that we cannot expect consistently accurate timing in a Window’s task-switching environment. My comment was intended to caution users that actual readings may vary significantly for many different reasons – I have never yet seen stable readings.
