Hi all,
Does anyone know if it's possible for amibroker to do automatic backtesting of different scenarios?
e.g. I have 4 variables that I want to test different ranges for.
Stop (a): 5, 7.5, 10
ROC (b): 10, 15, 20 percent
High Days (c): 5, 10, 15, 20
And then have Amibroker test with:
1. a=5, b=10, c=5 and save results.
2. a=10, b=10, c=5 and save results.
3..
You get the idea.

If Amibroker does not have this functionality, is it possible to automate Amibroker and pass in text files with parameter settings or some such?

Cheers,
JB
 
Figured it out.
You can set variables/parameters to be "optimized" and their ranges.
Then you kick it off via the "Optimize" button in the "Automatic Analysis" window and it computes all permutations and runs them.
10 hours to go :D
