[amibroker] Get StdDev of Custom Metric



PureBytes Links

Trading Reference Links



I need to get the standard deviation of a custom metric that I'm computing by iterating through each trade in the BacktesterObject.  The problem is that StDev takes an array.

How do I build an array within the loop to compute the StDev of after the loop completes?  Here's what I'm doing:

if (Status("action") == actionPortfolio) {
  bo = GetBacktesterObject();
  bo.Backtest(1);
  num_trades = 0;
  all_rmultiples = 0;
  for (trade = bo.GetFirstTrade(); trade; trade = bo.GetNextTrade()) {
    num_trades++;
    // ... getting r_multiple value here
    all_rmultiples[num_trades-1] = r_multiple;
  }
  rmultiple_stddev = StDev(all_rmultiples, num_trades - 1);
  bo.AddCustomMetric("StdDevRs", rmultiple_stddev);
}



StdDevRs is always blank in the backtest report.  Any advice?
