We might suffer from survivor bias with anyone below average / losing money having given up.

My RealTest licence expired and I paid for an extension to continue getting updates. They might be at different points in development but I've owned AB for years and the only change / fix / enchancment I've considered paying for was support for the Norgate NDU while most RT updates have...

Charting is about the only thing I now use AB for but RT does have some nice features. You can toggle the axis between linear and logarithmic with a single keystroke. You can keep the chart open and scroll through multiple symbols with a single keystroke. You can add a Chart section to you...

It already supports Tiingo and TiingoCrypto. You need to edit the Realtest.ini file to add your personal API key There is a section in the manual plus a sample script which both have instructions.

Yes and Yes. Amibroker is still installed on my PC and I occasionally use it to check a single stock but all my development, testing and trading is done using RealTest. My RT code is simpler, smaller and runs faster plus support from the RT forum or direct from Marsten is rapid and always...

One method I've used is to flag the stock as a favourite in Amibroker after buying it then filter the exploration to show Buys which aren't favourites and Sells which are. After selling the stock I then removed the stock as a favourite. You can also achieve the same using a watchlist. I also...

Yahoo (free) or Norgate (Paid)

I'm another RealTest convert. Great software which continues to get better with every update plus VERY helpful and friendly support. I converting my AB AFL code to RT scripts and for a while kept them in sync to make sure they gave the same results but eventually gave up. My confidence in RT...

short squeeze

My free trial expired so I brought a licence. I'm still running systems in parallel and still finding differences but have so far tracked them down to user error. The latest being padding which is off by default in RT but I had turned on in Amibroker. It's not a big deal when looking back 20...

At present I'm busy just trying to learn RealTest rather than developing new strategies. I started with the really simple strategies I copied from the internet when I started learning Amibroker and migrated them to RealTest then went down the rabbit hole when the results didn't always match...

Actually it probably depends on your strategy. Sometimes it would make sense to adjust the historic prices for all the non trading changes and sometimes make no changes at all. At least with RT the adjustment is done in the script allowing you to use the most appropriate setting for each system...

I'm still in the free trial period but definately liking it and almost certain to buy it. Another tip is add "Adjustment: Capital" to your Import section By default RealTest does price & volume adjustments for Capital reconstitutions and special distributions (which is also the Amibroker...

A few things from the first week with the free trial. Starting a variable name with Daily, Weekly or Monthly uses Daily, weekly or Monthly bars. No need to change, reset & expand the time frame. DailyMA(C, 15) is the 15 bar daily MA and WeeklyMA(C, 15) is the 15 bar weekly MA. When you have...

Having signed up the theRealTest forum and finding a thread about Norgate fundamentals where Marsten said adding them was on the things to do list I asked the obvious question if he had an eta. He responded saying he would accelerate things and it should be available in a week or two. Super...
