Next Steps with Amibroker
By Dave Mabe
On this week's episode of Line Your Own Pockets, I continue helping Michael create a first backtest in Amibroker.
You might think "backtesting is backtesting," but we cover many of the differences between RealTest and Amibroker, as well as their implications.
We discuss:
What makes AI so bad at generating good AFL code for a backtest in Amibroker
The better you get at understanding how AFL works, the better your use of AI gets
How a column library makes all the difference in creating P&L
Quick backtests can promote bad habits
And much more...
I also mentioned the new MabeKit AFL Generator tool.

P.S.
Amibroker users: are you trying to use ChatGPT to create a backtest only to discover how bad the LLMs are at coding Amibroker's language? You're not alone! You need my Amibroker AFL Course. It comes with a demo strategy that serves as the perfect starting point for any strategy you want to create.
