I've just purchased Prosizer and the way I've been transferring the
required info is exporting the backtest results to excel through a
csv and exporting a exploration. Then I cut and paste the columns I
want in excel. The code I use in the exploration is-
PositionSize = 10000;
ApplyStop(stopTypeLoss, stopModePoint, 2*ATR(14), True, True );
AddColumn(BuyPrice,"BuyPrice",1.4,colorDefault,colorDefault);
AddColumn(ShortPrice,"ShortPrice",1.4,colorDefault,colorDefault);
AddColumn(ATR(20),"ATR",1.4,colorDefault,colorDefault);
AddColumn(2*ATR(14),"ATRStopPoint",1.4,colorDefault,colorDefault);
AddColumn(2*ATR(14)*
(1*PositionSize),"ATRStop$",1.0,colorDefault,colorDefault);
AddColumn(4.5*ATR(14),"ATRProfitPoint",1.4,colorDefault,colorDefault);
AddColumn(ATR(14)*
(1*PositionSize),"ATR$",1.0,colorDefault,colorDefault);
You have to change the variables that suit you (positionsize etc).
This is a really rough and messy way to do things and I'm striving to
improve but I'm in a hurry for results and this works.
I now have position size strategy I want to use so now I also have a
question, how to call up the net profit in auto analysis eg d = x + y
* netprofit
Thanks
Matt
