In a message dated 00-05-15 13:05:11 EDT, you write:

<< For optimizations I run I'd like to optimize not just by one of TS's
 canned fields -- "Avg Trade", "Profit Factor", "% Profitable", etc --but
 maybe for a composite of them.  For example
 
    MyFactor = (Net Profit * Profit Factor) / DrawDown
 >>

STEP 1 Calculate Myfactor using easylanguage and the appropriate performance 
             functions.

STEP 2 : Write MyFactor out along with the inputs to an ASCII file using the 
fileppend function in CSV format: comma delimited.

STEP3 Read into EXCEL

STEP4 Sort on the MyFactor column

STEP5 Don't forget to look for the flat areas!
