Can I send you an email with exact parameters I wanted to backtest? Maybe that can be done in Amibroker, not sure.

But StockFetcher goes straight into my “Go to” bookmarks! Amazing, so easy to use.

Phanta, i’ve got something for you!
This is it: http://www.stockfetcher.com

Just take a look, how that software is using casual and verbal language
to build screening filters. This is made exactly for you :)))

For example, let’s describe BreakOut’s filter:
“Show stocks where close is approaching a new 60 days high
and high is below 60 day high
and close is above open
and close is between 10 and 150
and Average Volume(30) is above 250000
and Volume has been increasing for the last 2 days”

What do you think?
Is this your cup of tea?

Phanta, what are your conditions or specific date, exactly, for buying or selling a stock?
Just describe me those triggers and we’ll call it your trade system :]
After that we’ll run AmiBroker.

Yes, only trading ETFs now. Why?

I really liked that trade where you short 2 opposite triple ETFs (the same amount). It worked excellent the first time.

I want to see what the maximum drawdown is with that trade, because I’ve got a feeling it’s not as perfect as it seems. I did some manual testing but only as far back as 3 weeks; the results were suspicious and not at all positive.

R.,
I searched in Amibroker’s forums, found some pre-made scripts but they’re too much.

I need something simple, as described in this post. Do you know how to do it with Amibroker or with anything else?

Btw, you can search their forums or other net resourses for downloading Amibroker’s trading systems.
Do use emule and/or bittorrents.

Phanta, you don’t have to learn AFL or something, just invest your time for creating your own trading system, wich can base on several indicators. Other software costs about 500-1000 greenbucks and can using also its own internal language for building the custom indicators.
