RE: [amibroker] Backtesting and tradedelays

I agree, I'm just curious because everytime I make a
seemingly subtle change, I often get huge variations
in what my end result is. Sometimes I feel like I'm
testing for bugs in the actual backtesting software,
because the code is so damn similar. The only thing I
can think of to confirm my systems viability is to
have someone code it in executable form and trade it. 

I think as long as I don't reference future quotes, I
should be fine.
