Tomasz,

Just wondering if there are plans to extend the COM interface to be able to
control the Exploaration/BackTesting and the Indicator Builder? One of the
things I'd love to be able to do is control AmiBroker via COM using VB or
Delphi and then save the generated backtests as .CSV files to be imported
into an SQL server. Then I'd data mine the results. It would make it
easier to test the reliability of technical indicators as SQL is very adept
at summarizing things quickly, even for large datasets.

It would also be beneficial for the more advanced users as they could
perform automated testing runs without having to load and save the results
for each run. An example would be for people that use AmiBorker to export
ASCII files for use in neural network software. You could have a VB Script
control it and build a unique ASCII file based on the stock and its
respective industry group, without hardcoding in the related group and
sector. As it stands currently the foriegn() function has to be hardcoded.

Another idea would be that users could then use VB to generate indicators in
AB. I do a lot of statistical analysis and I build inidcators that plot the
probability of a move based on the day/week/month/etc. These are done by
hand right now, but would be pretty easy to automate if I could just 'pump'
them into AB. Actually, I might be able to generate an ASCII .AFL file for
import with VB now, which is something that just came to me... :)

Anyway, it is just a thought, and should be placed pretty far back on the
priority lists. Keep up the great work!
