Cord,
Thanks for the comments about the blog… These keep me going as well ;-)

I am more familiar with TradersStudio and I know that it can do multiple systems testing, it can even do “virtual systems” where you monitor a system and take action based on its output (ie only take a trade after the virtual system has had 2 losing trades, only trade one system after its equity curve is over its Moving Average, etc.).
I do not think that AmiBroker offers this and it might be very awkward to implement I feel (see this thread for more info: http://www.mail-archive.com/amibroker@yahoogroups.com/msg41607.html
) and this just made me realise that it is probably a big reason why Amibroker cannot replace TradersStudio…

HI Jezz. I always get confused about which package is multi-market and which is multi-system. Do you know if any of these are multisystem, in that you can see what happens with your overall equity curve given the interactions of your different strategies and the money management strategies that you use.

Thanks a lot, and congratulations for the site, I like it a lot.

Cheers, Cord

Robert,
Welcome to the blog and thanks very much for the correction. I obviously have to play a bit more with AmiBroker. I have updated the post.
Cheers -Jez

Not 100% true: in amibroker you don’t need copy and paste.

You can declare function and you import them thru the #include or #include_once directive.
