AmiBroker BETA version (5.26.0) released


It is available for registered users at:
http://www.amibroker.com/members/bin/ab5260beta.exe


CHANGES FOR VERSION 5.26.0 (as compared to 5.25.0)

* Implemented user-definable report charts

Now it is possible for the user to create any number of charts that will be automatically generated and included in the backtest report.

To add user-defined chart to the report, simply save your chart formula under "Report Charts" folder.

That's all.

Any formula present in the "Report Charts" folder will be executed after completion of the backtest using ~~~EQUITY as selected symbol.

The beta ships with 3 sample charts:
a) portfolio equity
b) underwater equity (drawdown)
c) profit table

The charts are displayed in alphabetical order (using file name as a chart name).

* Built-in price arrays (OHLC, V, OI, Avg) are protected against assigning the value of wrong type (non-array)
