Hi,
 
Thanks. Haven't noticed that there is a desktop 
version!
Glad to see that they charge $300 :-)
 
Best regards,

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 on 
the 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:

Hello,I would like to ask you:What 
additional back-testing statistics would you like to see in 
AmiBroker?Please give me your suggestions with the 
description.For version 3.64 already included are:- 
Annual system percentage profit- Annual B&H percentage 
profit- Maximum drawback calculated from maximum equity 
value  to the minimum equity value   (BTW: How to 
name this one? I have no idea)  (note this is different 
from current max. drawback calculation which    
computes max. equity dip from the trade entry)- Bars out of 
marketI have got already some of your earlier 
suggestionsbut anyone has something more?Best
