AB fully supports tick data and it can backtest on tick data. You can easily find this information in the manual.

Yes, AmiBroker supports multi symbol portfolios. It is the fastest portfolio level backtester available today (10 year backtest of 100 symbol portfolio under one second on low-end machine). AmiBroker uses LIVE data and does not need or use any "pre-calculation" With regards to the CPU cache...

I have noticed your posts commenting on AmiBroker and I would like to offer you some insight. It is not true that AmiBroker uses single thread. If you run Microsoft Process Explorer on AmiBroker you will find that it runs at least 5 threads (sometimes more). For example if you run it with IQFeed...

Please use support at amibroker dot com. Elitetrader is not a place to get tech support for AB. As to the matter, if you want to count only in-range bars then you would need to add appropriate condition such as: TimeFrameSet(inMonthly); whattocount = Status("barinrange") AND NOT...

Your formula is incorrect. You would need to replace all occurrences of Cum(1) with Cum( NOT IsNull( C ) )

AmiBroker is inexpensive (and that is good thing), but it is not the immitation of anything. AmiBroker offers features that are NOT found in any software platform such as rotational, ranking-based portfolio-level backtesting, custom backtester interface, open optimization API including smart...

FWIW: we did answer via support channel. TWS API does not provide historical data (backfill) on combos, and backfill is required to get any chart or run any strategy, therefore you need to calculate spread out of base instrument data using Foreign() function and/or GetRTDataForeign for Bid/Ask

You don't read what I write. There is NO limitation on number of bars imported. The "number of bars" setting is only for eSignal/IQFeed plugins to avoid entering absurd numbers for sources that do NOT provide more history ANYWAY. Even if there was no message these sources would not give you...

Just another BS. AmiBroker CAN display ANY number of bars. 500000 is default protection against entering big numbers by mistake when working with eSignal or other sources that simply don't have more than one year of intraday history. There is NO limit for imported data...

As you probably know, the YahooGroup is a discussion forum for users. It is user group, not official support channel. You are asking other AB users there. And responses are from other users. I answer there from time to time when I am not busy developing but to get guaranteed and quick response...

Again please use YahooGroup to ask AB questions. Since, free Data is not good for real trading, we require reliable and clean data the same. So, is it possible for it to Csi And Metastock files? Moreover, can it read them? Yes it can read CSI and it can read MS. Detailed step by step...

Hello, Guys this is not AB support forum. There is one on Yahoo - the one you have provided link for so post questions there, not here. Now just a few quick answers. >Documentation not explained from the layman point of view like You should check the TUTORIAL section. This one is for...

As always it depends to what you are comparing to. IB *backfill* is slow compared to eSignal or IQFeed. When backfill in AmiBroker with eSignal as a data source takes 3-5 seconds, the same backfill with IB is 30-50 seconds (DSL 2Mbps)

Trend line co-ordinates do NOT change when you change the time frames. Trend line co-ordinates are saved as (x - datetime, y - price ) pairs (one for start and one for end) and they stay unchanged no matter what time frame you are looking at. This of course applies to START and END points of...

I think that what you are after can be easily done using $TIMESHIFT command of ASCII importer. Provided that your old TS data are in text files you can import them and time-shift them during importing using $TIMESHIFT importer command. It allows fractional shifts so not only hour shifts are...
