For the record, I had to contact support about this and the behavior I was
seeing was due to me using trade delays of 1 (i.e. to trade on tomorrow's
open). The call to setPositionSize needs to be adjusted to check Ref(Buy, -1)
in this case.

I'm not the original poster, but am dealing with the same issue. What you
suggest helps, and I can figure out how AmiBroker is encoding the scale in data
in the Buy/Short arrays. What about stops and profit targets? They don't
appear to be visible using the approach below. Thanks.

Mike -- thanks for taking the time to do this, it looks like that will do the
trick. Will check it out.

And here's what I settled on. Tacking this code on the end of my formula and
running it as an exploration satisfies my requirements:
Equity(1);

What do I pass for the Type field in this API call:
Application
Function Import(ByVal Type As Integer, ByVal FileName As String, [ByVal
DefFileName As Variant]) As Long
If it matters, I will be passing a DefFileName parameter as well. I couldn't
find this in the docs anywhere, and I'm afraid
I suspect, but don't know for sure, you're doing it backwards -- you'd want to
test on MSFT since that's what you're trading and do SetForeign to SPY. I
think SetForeign changes the price arrays, but not how Buy/Sell/etc are
interpreted.
Also, you wouldn't want to quote "SymbolToBuy" in tha
I suspect my workflow is a bit different than most AB users. I trade futures
on daily data which I get from CSI. I import this data from ASCII files which
are generated by CSI's desktop app. It didn't seem to me that there was a good
way to automate this process using the built in tools (AmiQ
Check the docs for fgets, the example should get you started.

Ah, thanks for that, I've been wondering if that was possible in AB but haven't
gotten around to playing with it yet.
