 Hello - Dickie, How do you want it run?  
Individual stocks backtest or portfolio?  Range? 
  
I ran it as a portfolio backtest against 
NDX100 component stocks and didn't get anything positive for CAR. 
  
If I run it as 
individual backtest for this year (YTD) I get a CAR distribution, with the top 
20 starting at a CAR of 
47% looking like this to a 
car of -43%.  Almost looks like a bell shaped curve distribution. 
  
  
Looks like it needs 'something'.  
  
Hope this helps 
JOE

  Subject: [amibroker] Can somebody test 
  this simple system and post results ? 
  
  This is a slight modification to a simple system from an 
  article in  April 2005 'Active Trader' mag (article by Xavier Raj).  
  It looks  for 'extreme' price bars i.e., it goes long the next day if price 
   today opens at the bottom 10% of the price bar and closes at the top 
   10% of the bar.  The trade stays in the market for 24 hrs i.e., it 
   sells on the open of the following day.  Going short is the exact 
   opposite. Can somebody test it for me on the NDX100 stocks or, perhaps, 
  Dow30 ? [I don't carry alot of stocks on my flash drive]  
  Thanks
  Range = (H-L);
  //Open is in the lowest 10% of the price 
  bar and Close  // is in the highest 10% of the price bar PriceUp = Close 
  > (High - (Range/10)) AND Open < (Low + (Range/10));
  //Open is in 
  the highest 10% of the price bar and  // Close is in lowest 10% of the 
  price bar PriceDown = Close < (Low + (Range/10)) AND Open > (High 
  -(Range/10));
  //Trade on BuyPrice and ShortPrice with one bar 
  delay SetTradeDelays (1,1,1,1);
  BuyPrice = ShortPrice = CoverPrice = 
  SellPrice = Open;
  Buy = IIf (PriceUp, BuyPrice, 0); Sell = 
  0;
  Short = IIf (PriceDown, ShortPrice, 0); Cover = 
  0;
  ApplyStop (stopTypeNBar, 1, 1,0);
