Virtual Trade Simulator Module Version 1.0 – Amibroker AFL Code

Thought of launching a simple and user-friendly Virtual Trade Simulator to study/test your inner intuition before practicing in the live markets. Virtual Trade Simulator comes with GUI Button controls to place virtual signals and a profit and loss trading dashboard to trade the current running profits/loss.

Persistent static variables are used to capture the state of the signals and will be autosaved every 30 seconds. If the case to clear the virtual signals then a parameter control to clear those static variables are provided.

Supported Amibroker Version

It is highly recommended to use Amibroker 6.21 version or higher

Currently, Signals are fetched at the close of the candle and the same gets tracked in the PNL Dashboard as well. If any consecutive same signals placed will be ignored. Code is designed in such a way that every entry signals has to be followed by exit signals else the signal gets ignored.
