Below are some basic settings for all trading systems in Amibroker:
Database settings such as number of bars, which should normally be 50,000 for 1-minute data to reduce performance issues.
Intraday settings like trading hours should match the exchange and preferences for backtesting interval can be set.
Memory cache size should allocate enough memory based on number of symbols, like 2MB per symbol minimum for 50 symbols would be 100MB but allocating 4 times minimum of 400MB allows better performance.
