Can you someone tell me how to backtest my trading system(written in Amibroker language) using MSA(Market System Analyser) of adaptrade? Amibroker does not offer testing using Fixed Ratio, Fixed Fractional etc methods. Hence i am searching for an external software which can help me with it. Is there any tutorial which i can refer to? MSA website mentions that it supports Amibroker
How to get backtest trades data from Amibroker into Market System Analyser?
This forum is AmiBroker forum but not Market System Analyser support forum.
That's Incorrect.
E.g.
trade_price = Open;
risk = 1;// percent risk
stop_amount = 2*ATR(20);
SetPositionSize( risk / stop_amount * trade_price, spsPercentOfEquity );
BuyPrice = trade_price;
Buy = Ref(Cross( Signal(), MACD() ), -1);
Sell = 0; // exit only via stop
ApplyStop( stopTypeLoss, stopModePoint, stop_amount, 1 );
ApplyStop( stopTypeProfit, stopModePoint, 1.5*stop_amount, 1 );
Also see here.
So long story short
You do not need MSA.
