Still NO GO.
I am loading the code in the AA, select a watchlist, run an
Individual backtest, and Refresh the WorkSpace. I get the BT report with
individual results. I get two Composites in my Composites Group. One is named
~~~EQUITY, the other ~~~UI_~~~EQUITY. The first makes sense but the second
indicates that the StaticVar does not return the ticker name.
>>
It appears that in this code the function Name() returns
"~~~EQUITY" and does not return the name for the ticker being tested, it
behaves as if the ~~~EQUITY composite is the ticker being tested.
Can anyone confirm this?
Thanks again!
Herman

It will work
OK.
Individual backtest *is* portfolio backtest but just portfolio
consisting of one symbol at a time.
Note that one should select
"Individual Backtest" (not "OLD" backtest) from AA->Backtest drop
down.
One correction though
StaticVarSetText( "Symbol", Name()
);
should be called only when NOT in portfolio
mode
so
if( Status("action") == actionBacktest )
StaticVarSetText( "Symbol", Name() );
// Demo trading system
Short =
Cover = 0;
Buy = Cross( MACD(), Signal() );
Sell = Cross( Signal(),
MACD() );
// Using the CBT to retrieve/save metrics
SetOption(
"UseCustomBacktestProc", True );
if ( Status( "action" ) ==
actionPortfolio )
{
bo =
GetBacktesterObject();
bo.PreProcess();
MyHistStat1 =
Null;
for ( bar = 0; bar < BarCount; bar++
)
{
bo.ProcessTradeSignals( bar );
stats =
bo.GetPerformanceStats( 0 );
MyHistStat1[ bar ] = stats.GetValue(
"UlcerIndex" ); // any metric can be
retrieved
}
bo.PostProcess();
AddToComposite( MyHistStat1,
"~~~UI_" + StaticVarGetText( "Symbol" ) + "_HISTORICAL", "X",
atcFlagEnableInPortfolio | atcFlagDefaults );
}

First of all. You use
Status{"action") == actionPortfolio, individual backtest wont go through
there.

Thank you Tomasz, but this code
still does not work. I changed the StaticVar to the Text type.
Can you
help some more ... ? or does anyone else see the
problem?
TIA,
Herman

The same code. The only
distinction is that you need to run INDIVIDUAL backtest
and use Static
variable to save name
StaticVarSet Text ("Symbol", Name() );
// Demo
trading system
Short = Cover = 0;
Buy=Cross( MACD(), Signal()
);
Sell=Cross( Signal(), MACD() );
// Using the CBT to retrieve/save
metrics
SetOption("UseCustomBacktestProc", True );
if(
Status("action") == actionPortfolio )
{
bo =
GetBacktesterObject();
bo.PreProcess();
MyHistStat1 = Null;
for(bar=0; bar < BarCount;
bar++)
{
bo.ProcessTradeSignals( bar
);
stats = bo.GetPerformanceStats( 0 );
MyHistStat1[ bar ] = stats.GetValue("UlcerIndex"); // any metric can
be retrieved
}
bo.PostProcess();
AddToComposite( MyHistStat1, "~~~UI_" + StaticVarGet Text ("Symbol") +
"_HISTORICAL", "X", atcFlagEnableInPortfolio | atcFlagDefaults
);
}
PlotForeign("~~~UI_HISTORICAL", "UlcerIndex
Historical", colorRed, styleLine );
