Hi Bill -- The DateNum function might help.
01/01/2005 in AmiBroker datenum format is 1050101. Your system might set up its buy condition as follows: BuySignal = whatever; Buy = BuySignal AND (DateNum()>=1050101); Thanks, Howard On Mon, Nov 10, 2008 at 2:57 AM, tickhillblade <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > Hi all, > > I am a new user of Amibroker and I am trying to backtest a system I > have thought about for many years but have not had any software to > perform this before last week. > > I have a problem and am looking for some help. > > Due to different symbol start dates I need to generate the buy or sell > signal after a two year period. > > i.e. AZN.L data starts on 01/01/2003, the first transaction cannot be > before 01/01/05.
