Re[2]: [amibroker] Re: How NOT to show all the built-in metrics in the backtester?, AmiBroker Email List Archive

today was a lost day for me with the inauguration and all... tomorrow busy too...

but I will try your code as soon as I get a chance - It looks nice, thanks for doing all this work Fred!

Herman,

I had a few minutes to "play" so try this if you want ...

It will:

- Export the current AA Result Window to AAResIP.html

- Utilize a user named and defined parameter file ( *.AAR ) to select the columns you want in the order you specify

- Create an AAResOP.html with the selected columns

The output then can either be viewed by directly clicking on it or importing it to AA ( File / Import )

The parameter file is simply one record containing a list of comma delimited column numbers relative to 1 ... so for example to show columns 3, 5 and 1 in that order left to right one would create an *.AAR file with the name of their chosing with one record the contents of which are 3,5,1

When you start the program it will present a Windows File selection tool for chosing whatever *.AAR file you choose. This then allows one to have as many AA Result Parameter Files with different names and definitions as one wants.

This probably still has some warts but have at it.

Hi Fred,

If you mean: write OLE code, change it each time you want another report format, make a menu item, and then click?

The answer is yes.

btw, your reply fits right in with what I said the common answers on the list are...

And yes, it is possible to simulate importing the results. I use OLE to export the BT results and run an exploration that reads the exported file to display only the columns I need. This works ok for fixed formats. The issue is not whether one can create a work-a-round; the issue is convenience and easy of product use - for everybody.
