Re: [amibroker] Re: Top 100 Backtest

Hello,

It is easy, run an exploration with average volume:

Filter = BarIndex() == BarCount - 1;
AddColumn( MA( V, 100 ), "Avg volume" );


Then click on "Avg. volume" output column to sort it.
Then select top N (say top 100) from the list and 
click with right mouse button over the list and
choose "Add selected results to watch list".

>From then on top-100 stocks will be on watch list of your
choice and you will be able to backtest them.

You can also do this directly from backtest formula
(without need to run exploration).
Just use

PositionScore = MA( V, 100 );

and backtester will automatically prefer stocks with higher average volume.

Best regards,
