Here is my code: Buymacdsmall = Optimize( "buy macd small", 19, 1, 50, 1 ); Buymacdbig = Optimize( "buy macd big", 39, 1, 50, 1 ); Sellmacdsmall = Optimize( "sell macd small", 19, 1, 50, 1 ); Sellmacdbig = Optimize( "sell macd big", 39, 1, 50, 1 ); Buy = Cross( MACD(Buymacdsmall, Buymacdbig), Signal(Buymacdsmall, Buymacdbig) ); Sell = Cross( Signal(Sellmacdsmall, Sellmacdbig ), MACD(Sellmacdsmall, Sellmacdbig)); SetPositionSize( 100, spsPercentOfEquity ); I just install amibroker 5.2 in my computer and not use virtual machine. Actually it says it take around 12 hours to complete it. Amibroker just use maximum 50% of my dual cores in general, look like it can only use one core when doing backtesting. My computer main components: E6500 overclocked to 3.66Ghz: http://ark.intel.com/products/42805/Intel-Pentium-Proc65essor-E6500-(2M-Cache-2_93-GHz-1066-FSB) 2GB 667 ram windows XP 32 bits professional
I used newest Amibroker 5.5+ versions too, it is also 50% maximum cpu power too when doing optimize. I just get used to 5.2 so I use 5.2.
j2ee, It appears you've decided on using AmiBroker over TradeLink, MultiCharts, or any other platform (or decided on trying it out first, at least). May I ask what prompted your decision?
Not at all, it is just easier to start with amibroker. TradeLink is made from different components and honestly I don't know how to easily start to use it. I asked question in Tradelink official group and no one answer, and within 48 hours just two other posts over there have replied, look like Tradelink community is extremely not active.
You are saying something that you make it up / assume but extremely personally offensive, I have the right to call police to follow this case.
i use tradelink and in my inbox I can see 10 community emails in last day, which is about same I have from ET. if nobody answers your question it's probably you asked something already on the website or faq.
So you are saying there are only around 10 replies each day in whole ET? Tradelink average should be just around 1 to 2 replies each day.
5million ticks per second? Are you serious? How big of the database do you need with that many data that you can keep searching 5million ticks per second and also store 5million new ticks per second? Don't make a lot of sense for me except you own an investment bank or something like that to make that happen.
