Backtesting

#1
I want to give buy and sell values for backtesting and not short and cover values which i am not using in my code. Is it possible to do backtesting without short and cover values?

I'm not completely sure if I've understood what you're looking for. But if you are using Amibroker, and are trying to Backtest a system which has 'Buy' and 'Sell' signals, but not 'Short' and 'Cover' signals, and are receiving an error when you try to test it, then -

1. Go to the Automatic Analysis window (Analysis Menu -> !Automatic Analysis).
2. Click on Settings
3. Under the 'General' Tab, in the drop down menu next to 'Positions:' select 'Long Only' instead of 'Long and Short' that might be appearing there.

That should allow you to test systems without short and cover signals in them.

Hope this helps.
