Gary,
I'm glad you asked. Here is an example. I think a generic one which can be
applied to any system. I will not go into too much detail here, since I am
working on detailed specs.
(Longs only)
1. Determine your hypotheis. For example: I want to see what the expectancy
of the following system across different markets.
Entry System = New 52 Week High, on Double Average 6 month volume.
Before going any further, why would anyone invest a single penny in this
system without testing it rigorously. How can this be done in MS now? I'd
imagine that you have to code the system and manually run it against 100
different markets (manually) to determine if it makes money.
My proposal is that:
a) this should be automated.
b) Not only do you want to test to see what the returns are, but also plot
histograms of the returns over time. I understand that this is difficult
wihout a graph.
c) Determine if there are any relationships between the 1 week return and
the 1 month return, 2 month return, etc.
d) Optimize the entry signal based upon volume. Instead of double volume,
how does the system perform when you use 3X volume, 4X volume, etc. Plot
those histograms, or at least boil down the numbers so that you can find the
best system.
e) Optimize the entry signal based upon price change. We know that the entry
signal is a new high. Is the new high 15%, 20%, 10 % 5 %, 50%? How do these
values affect the long term expected returns of the system. Plot the
histograms.
You get the idea.
Right now, this involves a whole lot of manual labor. But I believe that it
is worth it if you are going to properly test a system for robustness. Now,
does anyone know of any tools within MS or without which can do this
automatically?
I'd appreciate knowing.
If not, I think it's time we put our heads together and build something that
everyone can benefit from. We have the experience and the technology.

What is it that you want to do in the system tester that you can't do
now?

Subject: Re: === Looping constructs.
I think Equis, for it's next MetaStock version, should have built-in VBA
support. Also, MS should have a MS language converter for conversion to
VBA.
This way, experienced users can gradually move to VBA. New users can
start
using VBA right away instead of learning MS. VBA is becoming the
standard
language for users. Even Corel is getting the message by including VBA
support
in their Office 2000. While this may seem difficult, MicroSoft Word has
macro
AND VBA support.
Right now, we must buy an extra SDK, Power Basic or equivalent, figure
out how
to create DLL's and learn how to link them to MS.
About Traderware: Something many on this List may not know. Traderware
will
not work in Win9x. You must use Win NT. If you try to use Win9x, it
will
crash after about an hour. Their salesman told me Win9x won't "return
system
resources" correctly. I have never heard of this type of problem in
Win9x
before so it doesn't make much sense to me. I doubt RadarScreen has
this
problem.
