[amibroker] Re: Optimization targeting equity curve smoothness?

Not sure if this is what you are after, but this one of my current projects.

1. define variable PassNum - normally set to 1
2. using CBT, define/create system specific equity curve
3. run backtest
4. set PassNum = 2
5. using PassNum & Foreign, apply an indicator to the equity curve and use this as en entry filter.  As a simple approach I have been playing with ROC.
6. run backtest

It is a bit klunky, but it works.
