Re: [amibroker] Re: trading 1short + 1 long position per day

[Herman <psytek@xxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Mike, for finding the link for me. Sadly, I have a real mental block for the custom Backtester, even after using it a few times, it still turns my stomach. My blood pressure goes up just looking at it. I rather develop Long and Short separately, add the equities, or trade L&S on alternate days to validate the system. Time is just too precious to get bogged down with the CBT.

But thanks, I really appreciate you reply!

Herman,

I think that you will be forced to use custom backtesting. If you opt to go that route, there was a similar thread culminating in the following reply from Bruce:

I have a portfolio system that trades frequently and I would like to 
take just one trade long and just one trade short on each day. A 
different stock of course.

Is there an easy way to do this without resorting to the custom backtester?

Many thanks,
herman
