RE: [amibroker] Re: OLE: How to save reports ?, AmiBroker Email List Archive

Hi,

I am testing the same code at 5 different watchlists and when my script has finished all the backtests I have 5 reports open, but I don’t see the tested/selected watchlist until I go to the Settings page.

Than I have to switch back to the Statistics page and scroll down to my custom stats, which I have to copy/paste to a email. The same procedure follows for the other 4 reports.

Mostly I have to test multiple strategies/variations every day and all at the 5 watchlists. So it is time consuming and uncomfortable.

Therefore I am trying to simplify it as good as possible.

Sorry, but I'm not understanding what you're trying to do.. Are you wanting to retrieve the watchlist number being backtested in the backtest AFL so that you can retrieve the tickers?

Dingo,

thanks, but this wouldn’t make it easier, because i have to sent only my own custom stats through email and have to put my stats into a table in my email for good readability.

See my attached snapshot.

I have tried right now the following in the custom backtester:

List = CategoryGetSymbols( categoryWatchlist, 1);

bo.AddCustomMetric ("Tickers under test =", List );

Basically it is a good idea, however instead the fixed number 1 I should receive somehow the selected watchlist, because I test 5 different watchlists.

Look in the reports folder - there you'll find everything you want/need (almost). Here's an idea - open the results.rlst file in the reports folder. After each backtest the results will be summarized in the last record in that file. By combining the Name and Created columns you'll find that you have the id of the folder the reports are stored in. This will give you access to Stats.html, trades.html etc. that you can email or parse to your heat's content.

Yes, i know, but i always want to open the same 5 reports automatically or in other words i want to load it in firefox and just click "refresh all" to get all my 5 reports updated.

I test 5 watchlists through my OLE script and thereafter i need to copy/paste my custom backtest statistics of all 5 reports into a email. I have to do this procedure multiple times per day, therefore i am trying to simplify it as good as possible.

You can - simply double click on .html file inside report folder.

Hi,

thanks.

It's a shame because i have to copy my custom backtest statistics from 5 different reports that i receive for my 5 portfolios. AmiBroker saves all the reports in a folder which includes date, etc.. in the folder name and which is therefore different at every backtest. Hmm, it seems that this means that i can't open my reports in the web browser.

However it would also be helpful if i could display the tested watchlist (my portfolios) in the report. Do you know if there is any way to retrieve the selected watchlist ?

Watchlist = ....

bo.AddCustomMetric("Watchlist", Watchlist);

FWIW, below is the reply I got from Marcin on a similar question I
asked support:

"This is because REPORT method works with the old backtester. The new
(portfolio) backtest creates the report automatically and there is no
need
to call Report method at all.

Best regards

My intitial question was:

As a result, I've put a request in the feedback centre to be able to
assign the drive where the report should be saved.
