Re: [amibroker] Risk/Yield maps

["Steve Dugas" <sjdugas@xxxx>]

Hi-
 
I was wondering about this myself. I like the idea, andhave 
tried to use it a couple of times, but it seems that it automatically evaluates 
my ENTIRE database (thousands of stocks) with no other options. This takes a 
very long time, and when it is done, 99% of the symbols are covered by other 
symbols so I cant find them. Also, if I zoom in on one area, I dont see anyway 
to zoom back out so I can look at another area - even closing the window 
and re-opening returns me to the zoomed-in view. I think you are right - what is 
needed to make this useful is the ability to select which group, list, or 
whatever to evaluate, and also to repeatedly zoom in and out. If anyone knows 
any secrets, please let me know. thank you!
 
Steve

Herman,
 
I was looking it over the otherday and was 
wishing it could be applied selectively to a watchlist and/or the group of 
stocks found by backtesting a trading system on all stocks over various time 
periods. 
 
I'm not sure how to make the best use ofthe 
Risk/Yield map other than to get a fast visual feel for the risk/yield 
comparison for stocks I'm interested in. I was thinking that this might be an 
under-utilized feature in AB.
 
In backtesting a trading system maybe a 
risk/yield evaluation should be done to assess if the system is giving trades 
that are too risky for the potential gain that can be expected?
