I will settle for Sharpe and Kelly. Like them as a good combination.

Could you elaborate on that a little? Are you saying samething like making
an exit that simulates exiting 3,5,7,10,15 days, delivering statistics for
the average sharpe for all of those trades when run is done? And at the same
time getting it to run over the universe of stocks with the output at end? I
thought that would be close to impossible in Tradestation.
