I have included a code which I wrote sometime ago and which can be
included in any system in order to store the total equity on each
bar and calculate some sharpe ratio. Attached you will find a dll
which I used to accomplish this since it is necessary to store the
total equity for each day somewhere without running into
the maxbars back problem.
Don't expect too much from the code it was my working version. (I
just recompiled the dll - if someone runs into problems with it
please email)

{-------------------------------------------------Begin SystemReport
Add this code section to your system code - this code must be adapted
for each system.
The Report calculates a special sharp ratio.
It calculates a very rigid sharp ratio of a fixed time length window
which is continously shifted forward in the testing period.
The technique shown here can be used to calculate other profit
measures as well. The advantage is that this report measures the
profit ratios over a fixed time (bar) window which is shifted forward
and therefore reports from different systems can be compared to each
other even if other data lengths was used.
The technique is accomplished with the ts_kitsr.dll which lets you
store values. In this case the total equity (inclusive the
non-realised profit/loss) is stored and can be used later in order to
calculate profit ratios.
The final reports are in d:\ts40\SystSumm.TXT and d:\ts40\SystDetl.TXT
needs ts_kitsr.dll which lets you store values in a large array of max
13.000 values
change the directories as appropriate
The code needs to be adapted for every new system - see the comments
