    Thank you guys, I will try those but still I think this capability should be available without extra coding.

    Hi Sergio
    In one milion years I could not code what Master Brain did, nor would it be a prudent use of my time attempting to do so.The important thing is
    Amibroker is capable of doing so.QS can do it also, but is not built in and takes programming skills beyond my ability.I defer to the devlopers or programmers for these tasks.

    Imo QS has far more built in trader friendly tools but there will always be some feature that one desired that need custom programming.I know of no program that has my full with list.

    Hi Masterbrain,

    Thanks for posting the info regarding Monte Carlo testing. find this very helpful, especially the gif file - http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?t=276245&page=2 from this thread.

    Would you be able to give a little more info on the process of Monte Carlo testing? Do you need specific code in your formula?

    Thanks

    Mike

    How good is QS integration with IBKR?

    I can't seem to get Amibroker to work with ibcontroller for execution just went open source. Did they give up? it should be at the core of their development efforts.

    Good it be easier if Amibroker had an option to attach systems to each symbol like it is done in Tradestaion and run a portfolio backtest with them? I am talking about a portfolio on systems on a single symbol. What about the same with all the symbols in a watch list?

    I can get quotes along with backfills of data. However when I bring up the Place Order window,. the broker isn't listed. I pull the dropdown to select broker and it is empty. At the bottom pf the place order window it says that broker window is not installed/available. I click on the button with arrows to install the interface and I get:

    " You need to install broker trading interface for this to work."

    I am using the version provided by the Amibroker website. Thanks.

    You get quotes and backfill from the IB plugin of AmiBroker! AB's IB controller is a trading interface for manual/auto trading and it also retrieves infos from TWS. You are talking about two different things. IBcontroller is working fine. And FYI it is open source not because they gave up as you claimed but is offered by AB for transparency and to offer us users trading possibilities with brokers other than IB. If you have problems then go to their support instead of talking clueless BS.
