Hello,

I would advice to do exactly what Fred suggested.
And it is easy in fact. Follow http://www.amibroker.com/guide/a_custommetrics.html

 
SetCustomBacktestProc(""); 
if(  Status("action") == actionPortfolio ) 
{   
   bo = GetBacktesterObject();   
   bo.Backtest(); 
     
   st = bo.GetPerformanceStats(0); // get stats for all trades 

   mymetric = round(100*st.GetValue("ProfitFactor"))-st.GetValue("MaxSystemDrawdownPercent")/100; 

   bo.AddCustomMetric("PF*100+ MaxDD/100", mymetric ); 
} 

// Your system below
Buy=...
Sell=...

You can then sort by custom metric and the result will be sorting by profit factor first and then
by sys. drawdown.

Best regards,
