Hi Andrew:
  Thank for your suggestion, I can evaluate the MFE and MAE analysis 
for a single indicator. The problem I am facing is how to evaluate 
the entry and exit efficiencies independently for a group of 
indicators, since they both are influenced each other. If I evaluate 
their entry efficiency, then I need to set an arbitrary exiting 
strategy for all indicators, so their entry efficiencies can be 
compared basing on the same baseline - exit strategy for all of them, 
(comparing apples with apples). However, If I evaluate their entry 
efficiency using their own exiting strateges for each indicator, then 
can their entry efficiencies still be compared with each other? 
because in this case, there is no baseline for comparison. (comparing 
apples with oranges). Do you have any suggestion on how to look at 
MFE and MAE analysis for a group of indicators?
Thank you
Eric
