  1. This site looks awsome....

    can it test for multiple stocks (like 1000) in multiple time frames..

    that is the key

    i went to the forums...seems like they havein problems with their backtesting feature

  2. no, you can just use daily data (open, close, high, low).

    Yes the backtesting feature has some problems. I still use it and if I find something that looks good do the calculation by hand (you can do this with "offset").
    Then you click on "performance" and click through.

    offset = 1
    Show stocks where RSI(2) is less than 1
    and close is between 0.1 and 5
    and close more then 5% below close 1 day ago
    and average price (10) * average volume (10) > 50000

    By the way, here is the one day Roi for the above strat -->

  3. chaos

    chaos

    Have a look at Amitools (amitools.com), which is a third-party add-on tool for Amibroker. I've copied a blurb from the site below. I haven't used it but it appears to make Amibroker accessible to the non-programmer.

    //PowerScan* for AmiBroker®
    * Requires AmiBroker 4.24 or higher to be installed

    Take advantage of AmiBroker's sophisticated programming language using PowerScan's graphical interface. Create multiple criteria stock explorations and generate buy or sell scan formula without having to write a single line of code and within a very short time.

    This just released add-on tool for AmiBroker was developed for those users with zero AFL (Amibroker formula language) exposure and those who are proficient but would like the convienience of a point and click interface for developing stock screening and scanning formula.

    PowerScan is designed also to assist users in learning the intricacies of the AFL coding language in a natural and non-constrictive manner.//
