Hello,

1. You can have ANY chart you imagine. Why don't you just create a layout / template
that contains all necessary portfolio charts. There can be as many customized
equity charts as 16 per sheet and there are upto 60 sheets.  Contrary to "other" 
platforms that are closed and hard coded, AmiBroker equity curve chart is fully programmable
and gives maximum flexibility. 
a) Equity curve is included, there are many customized equity charts
floating on this list (including log equity and such)
- the "built-in" equity chart is just an example - you can replace it with anything of your 
own design.
b) Drawdown - just turn it ON from the parameters window
c) Yearly/Monthly break down - available see:
http://www.amibroker.com/kb/2007/10/11/low-level-gfx-example-yearlymonthly-profit-chart/

d) Open trades are listed already at the end of the trade list,
if you want custom stats based on open positions - the custom
backtester allows that

2. How about adding
Exclude = NOT InWatchListName("...name of watch list...");

3. CategoryGetSymbols functions gives the list of symbols in watch list
http://www.amibroker.com/guide/afl/afl_view.php?categorygetsymbols

4. Put everything in single formula - all add to composites into one formula,
examples are included here: http://www.amibroker.net/3rdparty/IntroToAtc.pdf

You can also use master formula with serval
#include commands if you want to keep your originals separate

5. You can do this via OLE interface/script or as you said using Batman (that actually uses AmiBroker OLE).

Subject: [amibroker] AB Features


> Well, it's been about a month since I started working with AB and I've
> had time to think about what features I think are missing from the
> application.  Now, it may well be that they either exist and I've
> missed them, or that they are planned (I'm not yet able to see the
> list of features in the next couple of versions).  But I was curious
> if others were interested in these areas:
> 
> 1. Better Reporting: Looking at the current reports vs. what I have
> in, say, Tradersstudio or any other backtesting app, I'd love to see:
> - More graphs - equity curve/drawdown with the option of showing a
> benchmark (buy and hold).
> - Yearly/Monthly/Daily breakdowns as separate sheets.
> - Open trades
> - New trades (or "what I have to do tomorrow" - realizing this only
> works for EOD, delayed trading)
> 
> 2. Ability to tie a watchlist to a backtesting strategy.  I can do
> this with BatMan, but it'd be great to have it built in.
> 
> 3. A new watchlist command - "Numberofsymbolsinlist" - easy to program
> yourself, but I'd love to just be able to reference it.
> 
> 4. Ability to batch Scans.  I use scans to create custom indices and I
> haven't figured out a way to update all of them at once - if anyone
> has any ideas, please let me know.  Could I program that into a single
> scan?
> 
> 5. Ability to batch Backtests.  I can do this with BatMan - it'd be
> great to have it natively.
> 
> Let me know if these are already available or if I'm missing an easy
> way to do these thing.

> Thanks!
