Is there some built-in functionality in Amibroker 5.50.5 (this is the current stable release version) that would enable me to manually insert the buy/sell arrows into a chart, and have Amibroker backtest based on these?
I.e., for paper trading purposes, I'd like to be able to go through a chart created from historical data (for instance, during playback), manually "click" on it to designate the buy and sell points, and have Amibroker generate, from this, a trading record, trading summary and, if possible, an equity curve. The trading record would simply be the list of trades, with the direction, date, time, profit, drawdown and run-up for each. The trading summary should contain the usual info: average profit per trade and time-in-trade for shorts, longs, and overall, maximum drawdown and run-up, etc.
[I also do automated analysis; I simply find that manual inspection can occasionally be a useful adjunct to that.]
[And if AB can't do this, what about MultiCharts?]
Thanks!
