RE: [amibroker] Rate of Change

Hi,

It is also nice to plot the yearly changes on top of your equity curve:

// ... your trading system here ...
Plot(E,"",1,1);
Plot(ValueWhen(Year()!=Ref(Year(),-1),E),"",4,1);

Have fun!
Herman.

Hello,

Here comes the code that calculates yearly percentage returns year by year
and lists them in the exploration
window:

NewYear = Year() != Ref( Year(), 1 );

StartValue = ValueWhen( NewYear, Close, 2 );
EndValue = ValueWhen( NewYear, Close, 1 );

Filter = NewYear;
AddColumn(Year(), "Year", 1.0 );
AddColumn(100*( EndValue - StartValue )/StartValue, "Percentage change" );

Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
