0. The only thing you proved is that you can not operate AmiBroker properly. Even your own results presented in the video do not agree with results posted in your 'benchmark'. Even your own results shows 10% difference. Not too mention that I got even bigger differences when I reproduced the...

Since you offered video, I have one for you too. Thats 378 steps of single security optimization, 170000 bars, long-short, your original inefficient MACD code. http://www.amibroker.com/bin/OptimizeSingleSec.zip Execution time: 65 seconds. And it offers full functionality for...

Here is a INDEPENDENT test (not done by us or you) http://www.addictfx.biz/article-622220.html that shows that AmiBroker optimization for 67000 bars of 15-minute data was 3.5 times faster than Tradestation. Since your Tradestation measurement is 850, 3.5x times faster for AMiBroker would...

No, I have almost the same computer, Athon @3800. The original test used Athlon @3600. So there is only 5% difference in computer speed. But 250% faster execution on my testing. So obviously results from this benchmark are fake. Not only that. They used for purpose manipulated code with...

These benchmarks are fake. Do your own and you will find the truth.

The results of these benchmarks are fake at least when it comes to AmiBroker. Out of curiosity I performed the benchmark - 378 optimization steps each using 173000 bars, and the same code provided and timing was exactly 290 seconds ! That's already MUCH faster than MC and 2.5x faster than...

Works fine. Just switch to View->Intraday->1 minute.

Sure, value at risk can be incorporated into the trading system as well, because you have full access to already open positions and to portfolio equity and available funds on bar-by-bar basis.

Sure it can. (I assume that with "VaR of portfolio" you mean "variance of portfolio equity curve" )

Not true. AmiBroker provides ability to generate trading signals based on equity curve of the whole portfolio. It is true that it uses 2-pass approach (i.e. generate signals in first phase then performing portfolio backtest in second stage) but... it allows you also to fully control second phase...

I fully agree. Optimization speed is key factor. What I can suggest is to give AmiBroker a try. You would be surprised how fast it is. In addition to very quick exhaustive search optimization, there is a free "intelligent" optimizer script, written by one of AB users, that will perform...

@agtrader777 Actually, it is possible to specify both range and step WITHOUT changing the code. It can be simply done by using PARAM() function http://www.amibroker.com/f?param in place of optimize function arguments. This way step and min-max range can be specified by the user by clicking...

Assuming that you wrote the portfolio trading system already (for more info: http://www.amibroker.com/guide/h_portfolio.html) optimizing it is just a matter of specifying which parameters you want to optimize: http://www.amibroker.com/guide/h_optimization.html and then clicking "optimize"...

@Murray Ruggiero In this thread http://elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=866684#post866684 I pointed out that you are spreading completely incorrect information on several software products including AmiBroker and WealthLab. You are doing the same here again. Your posts show...

@Murray Ruggiero Your "comparison table" is completely incorrect when it comes to AmiBroker. Even considering 2004 status quo. Back then AmiBroker already INCLUDED money management for both futures and stocks, included optimization across basket of markets, customized reports, full...

Just a sample of things that are available in AmiBroker, but not in Tradestation: * true portfolio-level backtesting with entry signals ranking http://www.amibroker.com/guide/h_portfolio.html * backtesting of rotational (fund switching) trading systems...

To address some misunderstandings: 1. AmiBroker's default setting is not to trade on open with zero delay. The default is to trade on CLOSE. So you needed to change the settings by yourself to open/no delay. 2. As for "not allowing the user to do something". Well in any language...

Hello, Thank you for your reply. So it appears there must be some local problem on your machine as sorting works fine on all our testing machines plus no one else is reporting similar problem. We will be able to resolve the problem over regular support channel (i.e. email to...

The problem you are having is due to the H:mm:ss time format you have set in Windows Control Panel -> Regional Settings. Just change it to HH:mm:ss (note double HH instead of H) and sorting will be working just perfect.

Yes, Jerry has pointed me to QT trading interface not so long ago and it looks interesting. However, before I dig into it I would like to update data plugin for QT to use new streaming interface, because many more users are interested in having it first.
