Hi Ed
Thanks very much for sharing your code. 
I have try its but i have some problems.
let me tell you:
To dont make mystakes i take your postest trades se below and put them 
in a txt file named output.txt. Also i keep your paths.
this mean i copy the output file at C:\IBOutputFiles\output.txt.

ABX 2007-05-09, 11:00:00 ISLAND -56 31.2800 1,751.68 -1.00 0.00 P  
ABX 2007-05-09, 11:00:00 NYSE -100 31.2800 3,128.00 -0.28 0.00 P  
ABX 2007-05-09, 11:00:00 IDEAL -100 31.2800 3,128.00 0.00 0.00 P  
ABX 2007-05-11, 11:01:18 NYSE 156 30.1000 -4,695.60 -1.00 0.00 P  
ABX 2007-05-11, 11:01:18 NYSE 100 30.1000 -3,010.00 -0.28 0.00 P 

In the file ts1.afl i keep the path of ts_proc.afl.
This means i copy the file ts_proc.afl at the path 
C:\Amibroker Programs\myAFL\tradeStatistics\ts_proc.afl.
There i put also ts1.afl.

So we have all the same.
I open the ts1.afl with the AFL Editor and execute this ( apply
indicator). 
in the Amibroker chart i see a new window:
Total Rwetun Practice = 0, Total Return Theory=0.
The chart is empty.

In your email you say that i should run this in a chart window.
i tried to do this . I press Run Statistics.
The answer was that the variable vout has not been initializied.
This variable i serch an dfoud it the the ts_proc.afl file.

I try to explane me steps maybe i done a mistake that you see fast.
I dont want to take you more of your time and nerve you.
but it would relay be fine when you help me.


Asi understand your code shows you the total return practice this
means you will get a chart of your profit and losses of your portofoil.
this is excactly what i need.. ( but ok first i must bring it work
with your help).

regards
christos

openprice but in the practice you will never get the exact open price
and I monitor the difference.
