[amibroker] Backtester not taking positions on all signals

["intermilan04" <intermilan04@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I've been encountering situations where the following occurs;

- When I "scan" for signals on a particular day, I get, say, 2 signals.
- When I "backtest" for that day, the backtester only takes position
in one of them, leaving the other signal left unused.

I have the following at the beginning of my code as Options:

SetOption("InitialEquity", 30000);
SetOption("AllowSameBarExit", True);
SetOption("ActivateStopsImmediately", True);
SetOption("MaxOpenPositions", 4);
SetOption("CommissionMode", 2);
SetOption("CommissionAmount", 7);
SetTradeDelays(0, 0, 0, 0);

My main concern is that the backtester may be picking the best signal
for the day...because in that case, it will really throw my system off
in the long run (My system will look much better than the real life
and I don't want that for an obvious reason).

Any insight regarding this issue is appreciated.

Regards,

intermilan04
