I'm
happy to help you as long as I don't step on Fred's toes.

I'm
going to post one of my scoring files and a graph of the equity curve
tonight. Those items should help to get you
started. It's like anything else. Once you've done it once, you'll
wonder what you put it off. IMO, there are two issues.
The first one is to get it to work... getting all of the files in the right
place. It's well documented, as long as you look at the
docs. Fred did what I like to see in any software of this
type. He supplied it with a sample. Just click, run and
look at results. Then, perhaps, optimize it a bit.
Finally, remove about five lines of code and replace it with your own and repeat
the process. In a basic system, there are really only five lines of
(carefully planned) code.

So,
let's go...

PMTo: amibroker@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxSubject: [amibroker] Re:
Random selection of stocksFred,I suspect that
only you and Chuck REALLY understand the capabilitiesof PT.Would
you be willing to act as a guide where PT is concerned? Thereason I ask is
that I have been conditioned by multiple decades ofexperience (habit) of
solving problems on my own. BUT I'd like to seePT in action from the eyes
of the developer.This might require you to either take control or
share control of theproject. At the very least, you will need to guide me
in specifyingfiltering and scoring requirements. I suspect that
PTxxxx can be anintimidating obstacle for a non-technical user, and I am
not qualifiedto take the lead on this. And you will probably need to
excercise a'super-human' level of patience or flexability in dealing
withconceptual issues.In addition to the above, I am sometimes
'slow as Christmas' inprogressing to the next step of a project, which I
guarentee willdrive you crazy. In other words, trying to get you
and I coordinated on something willbe like trying to mix Oil and Water.
And while not impossible, theodds are against this working.But if
you are interested in making the effort, then so am I.Phsst---
