David -
I"ve never known the backtester to fail but have
made many user miscues.
Check to see what stock/issue you've got loaded in
your current ticker window. Sometimes this
trips me up and I try to make sure my current
ticker always has many bars of history, say IBM or an index.
The other trouble shooting piece of advice "show me
one that works"..or find a formula that works in backtest mode,
...drop back to a very simple strategy that will work then you'll know if your settings are ok and
the issue in the ticker
window has enough history.
Hope this helps
JOE

Subject: [amibroker] Non-functioning
backtester
Can anyone advise on the
following problem? Backtest does not work;
instead, I get a one-line
result with the 'value' -1.#J% in % change
(and similar -1.# values in
some other fields).
As more background, I'm using version 4.70.5 of
Amibroker, set up on
a Dell laptop and a Gateway PC. The problem occurs on
the laptop but
not on the PC; in other words, several scripts that work
without a
problem on the PC do not work on the laptop. In back test, most
scripts that I use on my laptop do not work, but the odd one or two
still seem to work OK (and all work on the PC).
I believe that that
the problem may be related to a utilty that
Amibroker uses, as I get an
error message on powering up my laptop,
which
says...
===========================
NotifyAlert.exe - Common
Language runtime debugging services
Application has generated an exception
that could not be handled
Process id=0xff0 (4080), Thread id=0xff4
(4084).
Click OK to terminate the application
Click CANCEL to debug
the application
============================
Click CANCEL, and this
messages appears:
Registered JIT debugger is not
available
============================
As I primarily use
Amibroker on the laptop, I'd rather fix the
problem than simply abandon
the use of Amibroker on that
system!
