Are you a trader who wants to learn advanced AmiBroker programming skills to improve trading results?

You already know that AmiBroker is an extremely powerful tool for performing technical analysis. At Connors Research, we use the application, from simple signal generation to complex strategies for simulating portfolio results (including limit orders, calibration, hedging, etc.). If you plan to solve these advanced analysis tasks yourself, this course is for you.

Sign up for our 2 day course

From June 9 to 10, Connors Research research director Matt Radtke taught the same AmiBroker programming technology that Connors Research used to create and build high-performance strategies. At the end of this course, you will be able to perform your own advanced tests and analysis, many professional traders can rely on these tests and analysis to improve their trading and return on investment.

By using all the functions of AmiBroker, you can simulate the historical results of a system, which can accurately reflect your trading methods, so as to gain an in-depth understanding of its future performance. In this course, we will teach you the exact operation method.

Course objectives

This course is designed for traders who want to use AmiBroker to create complex backtests and optimizations using a custom backtester (CBT) interface. After completing this course, you will be able to:

Determine when to use each of the three levels of Custom Backtester. Within minutes, you can customize any system that suits your personal trading style, mental state, and risk preferences. Understand the details of system development to build your private trading system. You will learn how to customize your position size, hedging strategy, your trading timing and your own expansion strategy.
Add custom indicators through custom Backtester. Enrich more robust trading results so that you can use customer indicators such as “trade quality” to compare different trading systems. Integrate annual transaction breakdowns or earnings annual breakdowns into your results. Verify that your system will run steadily month after month, year after year, and remain stable in good and difficult years.
Develop your own trading model from scratch so that you can evaluate the performance of your ideas under historical trading conditions.
Use some of AB’s more powerful features. Now you can perfect and improve the existing trading system to reduce risks and improve performance.
Perform the correct optimization. Avoid the “over-optimization” trap and develop historically verified enhancements for your trading system.
Use multiple time frames, for example, use weekly bars in daily bar tests. By trading with short-term and long-term time frames to further improve the accuracy of the system.
Zoom to position. Build a proprietary amplification method that is the same as Connors Research’s best strategy into your trading system.
Consider investment portfolio considerations when coding. Consider the overall performance of the portfolio and find ways to improve the performance of multiple positions in the portfolio.

Introduction

AmiBroker is a very powerful analysis tool. Like any powerful tool, it also requires training and practice to be used effectively. In today ’s course, we will delve into some of the most powerful features of AmiBroker, including portfolio backtesting, optimization, and custom backtester interface or CBT.

Advanced features

AmiBroker’s AFL scripting language provides a variety of variables, commands and functions that can be used to develop custom indicators, scan, explore, backtest and explore. In fact, the AFL help file lists more than 350 AFL features. In this section, we will discuss some of the most useful features when starting to develop more advanced AFL scripts.

optimization

Through optimization, you can automatically perform a set of backtests, where each test has a unique set of input parameters. Each test (parameter combination) usually corresponds to a specific strategy variant. For example, we may want to test a strategy where the ConnorsRSI trade entry threshold varies between 10 and 25 (in increments of 5). In this section, we will discuss how to convert AFL for backward testing to optimization.

How to set

Use switch functions to handle odd increments

TimeFrame compression / expansion and setting / recovery

When running backtests, AmiBroker allows you to choose a basic duration for each “bar” of the test. This is also called a timetable. You can test 1-minute bars, daily bars, weekly bars, etc. However, sometimes you want to use multiple time ranges in one test. For example, some of our strategies use market timing rules to compare SPY’s current weekly closing price with the weekly closing price of the past year. In this section, we will explain how to use the AFL function to manipulate the time range.

Functions: TimeFrameCompress, TimeFrameExpand, TimeFrameSet, TimeFrameRestore

Scale and position size array

Expansion trading is a powerful tool for increasing revenue. In this section, we will discuss how to implement a basic scaling strategy for “all industries” testing.

Exercise: Create all industry tests with scaling

This hands-on exercise will be used exclusively to execute extended code templates and verify that the strategy logic works as expected.

Portfolio considerations

Compared to just generating trading signals or conducting an “all trading” test, the simulation strategy is actually a big step in how to trade as part of a portfolio. In this section, we will discuss fund management issues, such as position size and margin, and mechanisms, such as prioritizing trading signals and limiting the number of open positions.

Introduction to CBT

Customizing the Backtester interface or CBT is one of the most powerful tools available in AmiBroker. Writing your own backtesting code can give you a lot of control over how trading signals are executed and provides countless possibilities for reports and indicators. In this section, we will introduce CBT and discuss the simplest implementation of the custom backtest process.

Why is it useful?
Three levels: high / medium / low
CBT specific functions: SetBacktestMode and SetCustomBacktestProc

Advanced CBT and custom indicators

Using advanced CBT is a good way to implement custom indicators without having to deal with the complexity of processing all trading signals. In this section, we will discuss custom indicators and summary custom indicators for each transaction, and explain how to implement these indicators using code templates.

Exercise: Use code templates to generate custom indicators

This exercise will provide you with practical experience to implement, execute and solve custom indicators.

Low level CBT

Low-level CBT is the preferred interface for Connors Research members to implement backtesting and optimization. We will discuss the types of problems that can be solved using this structure, especially in the case of portfolio testing, and explain the solution with sample code.

Task types that usually require low-level CBT

Apply a custom interest rate (such as T-Bill) to available cash
Limited and / or enlarged portfolio testing
Control the order of entry and exit
Rotating system
Hedging

Exercise: Use restricted entries to implement portfolio testing

In this exercise, students will use the provided code template to implement their portfolio test by restricting entries. This small project will combine many skills used throughout the course.

Common mistakes

The higher the functionality and flexibility provided by the tool to the user, the greater the chance of problems. In this section, we will discuss some common pitfalls when using AmiBroker for portfolio testing. As a colleague said: “If the result looks too good to be correct, I may make mistakes.”
