Amibroker Simulator

[pavilion103]

I am new to Amibroker and currently have the trial version. I have searched through the help guide and am utterly confused.

Does Amibroker have a simulator where I can paper trade (end of day) and I can input signals for buy and sell so that it gives me alerts?

If so, where is the part of Amibroker that allows me to do this?

Thanks

You can keep track of your paper trades under file>new>account. Remember to 'fund' your account before you start.

Alerts are a bit more difficult and may require some programming. Type "alert" into the search bar. It's all there. "Easy alert" is only available in the real time version of AB.

Also have a look at tools>bar replay for something quicker and less structured.

If you're talking about back testing your ideas, find that under "back test" and "walk forward"

Ninja trader is better for you.
However you will need a data source.

I've currently got the trial version of Amibroker.
For some reason it is not updating the stock data for today.
The last date that is coming up is 18/2/2011 and today's data is 21/2/2011.
I am using the free Yahoo data and it has updated fine every day until now.

Does anyone know why it wouldn't be working?

I'm doing some explorations now.

I have a question in relation to the code below:

Filter =

C== HHV (C,25)
OR C== LLV(C,25)


AND C < 10
AND V*C > 20000;


AddColumn (C,"Close");
AddColumn (V,"Volume");
AddColumn (V*C,"Liquidity");

Will this produce results for: 1. HHV OR (LLV AND C<10 AND V*C >20000)
OR will it produce

2. (HHV OR LLV) AND C<10 and V*C>20000

I trying to get the result in Number 2. to work. Is my formula correct?

It will work like 1. If you want to make sure it works like 2, then you should put brackets around the HHV LLV bit, just like you have done in 2. Your code has the brackets missing. If ever in doubt as to what operation takes precedence, use brackets to ensure that it does what you want it to do.

20000 seems very low for a liquidity filter. Just my
