No idea.  But if you look at the language,it is 
very powerful and easy to use for system development and drawing.  
Additional drawing functions are coming out soon in version 
2.

Hi,
 
I just wonder if they are using Innerfuse 
Pascal script (<A 
href="">http://www.carlo-kok.com/projects.php?project=3).
It a freeware that comes with the 
Delphi source and it is pretty easy to add the functions for trading 
systems & drawing.
 
 
Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko

Their script language is quite powerful for 
trading systems and drawing.  One can do quite a bit with the 
freebie.

Glad to see that they charge $300 
:-)

How about entry to lowest trough = trade 
drawdown
 
Did you notice the script functionslisted 
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:
