[amibroker] Re: Optimization -- again

Al,
What I did with the IP codes is to select the top stock at each IP, 
calculating the Equity from the beginning of my data and then trade 
the selected stock up to the next IP.
The next variation will be to calculate the Equity for a certain 
number of lookback IPs, in order to come close to the recent stock 
behavior. There are some coding problems but I think they will be 
solved.
Then, the procedure will be transferred to multi-parametric problems, 
it is terra ingognita for me now but I will give it a try.
The final target will be to select the top3 [or top5] at each IP, I 
expect more robust solutions [with less profits, perhaps] when I 
trade 2 or 3 stocks instead of one at a time and see the average 
profit. It is a long way and I need to feel safe in every step.
Some results are quite promissing, we shall see...
