Mike,
You are the man! Thank you! I have posted the code I ended up with to the bottom of this email in hopes it will help someone else someday but please be aware I am the worst "programmer" on the planet before using.
Now onto StdDev of monthly returns. Traders Studio has an object that stores monthly returns that I access like this...
NOTE: NOT AMIBROKER CODE
objReport = thisSession.MonthlyReport
ReDim(Mreturn,objReport.ItemCount)
For i = 0 To objReport.ItemCount - 1
objPeriod = objReport.Period(i)
Mreturn[i]=objPeriod.PercentReturn
Next
AvgMreturn=Average(Mreturn,i,0)
StDevMreturn=StdDevS(Mreturn,i,0)
Msharpe=(AvgMreturn-.0025)/StDevMreturn
I haven't been able to find something similar in AB. Does it exist or is there another method I need to use to get at this data? Thanks again for any bones that can be thrown my way. I will do my best to leave the results behind for the next newbie who follows me.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
MY AB Code to calculate Standard Deviation of Trades and use it to calculate T-score.
SetCustomBacktestProc("");
if( Status("action") == actionPortfolio )
{
bo = GetBacktesterObject();
bo.Backtest();
st = bo.GetPerformanceStats(0);
//Get Variables
AvgTrade=st.GetValue("AllAvgProfitLossPercent");
// iterate through closed trades
X = 0;
N = 0;
SumX = 0;
SumX2 = 0;
for( trade = bo.GetFirstTrade(); trade; trade = bo.GetNextTrade() )
{
X[N] = trade.GetPercentProfit();
SumX=SumX+X[N];
SumX2=SumX2+(X[N]^2);
N++;
}
// Custom Metric Caluclations
TradeStdDev=sqrt((SumX2-((SumX)*(SumX)/N))/(N-1));
TScore=sqrt(N)*AvgTrade/TradeStdDev;
// Here we add custom metric to backtest report
bo.AddCustomMetric( "TradeStdDev",TradeStdDev);
bo.AddCustomMetric( "T-Score",TScore);
}

Assuming that you had a total of 20 trades over 1000 bars, you would have an array with values for the first 20 elements and zeroes (or Nulls?) for the remaining 980 bars. Your StDev call is operating on the last 3 bars, all of which will be zero, giving zero.

I have been through most of all 800+ posts that mention standard deviation but haven't been able to figure this out. If anyone can offer some insight into why my TradeStDev is coming back empty, I would very much appreciate it as I barely have any hair left.

One of the more useful pieces of code I wrote for Traders Studio was a custom optimization metric that I would like to reproduce in AmiBroker. I am a little overwhelmed at all the information available and would very much appreciate it if someone could point me towards some sources of info that will allow me to accomplish this.
