Hi,
 
WealthLab is nice. I am curious how long will 
they be free.
I found some interesting ideas 
there...

How about entry to lowest trough = trade 
drawdown
 
Did you notice the script functions listed onthe 
Wealth-Lab site?  Is that where AB is headed?

Hello,
 
Thank you for the information.
BTW, here is a definition of Max. Intraday 
drawdown from wealthlab:

"Max IntraDay Drawdown
This value represents the greatest peak to trough distance 
in your equity curve.  Beware of Systems that have a high Drawdown 
value."
This is exactly what I meant in my previous e-mail: 
"greatest peak to trough distance".
Now: how should we call entry to lowest trough distance ( a 
drawdown measure already present in AmiBroker) ??

Tomasz:
 
Since you will have maximum drawdown, I suggest 
including Risk-Adjusted Return (RAR).  This is a standard system 
evaluation metric that divides a risk measurement by the annualized rate 
of return.  You could use maximum drawdown as the risk measurement, 
but other measures (volatility, standard deviation, etc.) would also 
work.
 
The following link lists the system evaluation 
parameters used by Wealth-Lab:
