Hello James,
You can view the contents page of Howard's book and two chapters at:
http://www.quantitativetradingsystems.com/book.html
His homepage gives a good summary of what it is about.
It does include a list of AB's built in metrics plus some additional
ones with a little bit of comment. More importantly Howard does give
an example of how to add a custom metric in the final
chapter "Extending AmiBroker".
However defining the metrics isn't the books primary objective - that
would take a couple of hundred pages alone.
The AB User's Guide lists the basic definitions:
http://www.amibroker.com/guide/w_report.html
Beyond that there is so much material available by googling that most
authors probably feel detailed explanations would be redundant.
They are sometimes discussed in this forum (we have covered Profit
Factor, Expectancy, Ulcer Index etc in the last few weeks).
Sometimes I get good answers from keyword specific searches on this
forum, EliteTraders or the TradingBlox forums.
If there was a book, just on the defintion of evaluation metrics
alone out there, then I wouldn't buy it anyway.
Most of the time I pick up definitions when they are included in
books on system design and testing.
Howard has a links page that references some of the better
books/sites and there is also a few links to stats books at:
