Checkpoint

01st Mar 2011 - I have been losing money being greedy. Also, when I don't follow the rules. When the trade goes out of the channel, I still hold it dearly hoping for a miracle to happen. Multiple timeframe needs a lot of backtesting. First step is to manually create a log of all the trades of 1 min timeframe.

Backtesting Tutorial

If this line is present
SetCustomBacktestProc(""); at the beginning you need to have the
if( Status("action") == actionPortfolio ) later to perform actual backtest. Just pressing the backtest button won't do.

for (i = 0; i < BarCount; i++)
{
. . . .
sig = bo.GetFirstSignal(i);
. . . .
}

Signal is for the current symbol only because backtest results are per symbol. Open position is a loop for individual bars for the time position is open. Signal is only one record for Entry and one for Exit.
