RE: [amibroker] Re: Sharpe Ratio

Take a look at the  Auto-Optimization Framework in the AFL library. It does
something like this, though as it stands, not with Sharpe ratio. Instead of
running an AB backtest to calc whatever performance metrics you're going to
use, cycle through the stocks under test in code, and calculate those
metrics yourself.
