how to code using easylanguage in backtesting pair? currently manually combining the backtesting report of a pair. is possible to generating the report directly. some sample code would be appreciated. tks.
 
Go onto the easylanguage/tradestation forums and you will get plenty of examples. It is easy to backtest using EL, the problem is finding a system that will work.
 
isn't this a sub tradestation forum? or there isn't anyone knows abt coding backtesting pairs in EL?
 
No you need tradestations own forums, they have much more information about coding etc. You do have tradestation don't you? I think you need to use your TS login details to access it.
 
no not a user of ts but rather the ts2000i so not possible to go to the forum. are you possible search the forum for some similar issue and post some simple code?

Look at https://www.tradestation.com/support/webinars/archived_seminars.aspx

This gives you some information on Tradestation 8.8. In particular look at the strategy trading tab and the seminar on "Strategy performance report analysis". You can access these without being a TS8.8 customer BUT bear in mind that not all functions that you see here will be available under TS2000i.

Go to: https://www.tradestation.com/support/books/default.aspx

Download the free pdf files there on easylanguage etc. Again bear in mind that some things will not work in your version, but it might help.

Go to: http://www.tssupport.com/support/tutorials/

On the right hand side under multicharts download the pdf files and start working through "Getting started with easylanguage". This will lead you bit by bit in setting up charts and indicators and in chap 3 setting up orders under easylanguage as strategies. Once you can create a strategie you can see the orders being simulated and start to run strategy performance reports.

Do not think this process will be quick or easy. You will need to put in a lot of time and effort into it, with much trial and error.

Pairs trading and backtesting of such is not native to TradeStation. You will have to jump through some large hoops to make it function.
