I've read The Trading Game three times and will probably do so again. Focuses
on Fixed Ratio MM but
discussed Fixed Fractional lots too.
Regards the stats:
- "expectation" is ambiguous. His derivation is provided but it's not the Tharp
expectation...
- average drawdown is not calculated correctly. If anyone can help with it
please chip in!
- code should append output to trade report stats
Because AB doesn't seem to base profits correctly for forex currently I am
restricted to pretty
simple (point-based) stats. Hopefully Tomasz will help me with this soon and I
can become a stats
nut too.. Grant
<code>
// custom backtester metrics
bo = GetBacktesterObject(); // retrieve the interface to portfolio
backtester
bo.Backtest(); // run default backtest procedure
st = bo.GetPerformanceStats(0); // get stats for all trades
// expectancy calculation (Ryan Jones version)
payoff = st.GetValue("WinnersAvgProfit") / abs( st.GetValue("LosersAvgLoss") );
expect = ( ( 1 + payoff ) * ( st.GetValue("WinnersPercent") / 100 ) ) - 1;
// Ryan Jones statistics
bo.AddCustomMetric( "Ryan Jones statistics :" );
bo.AddCustomMetric( "1. net$profit", st.GetValue("NetProfit") );
bo.AddCustomMetric( "2. max$drawdown", abs( st.GetValue("MaxSystemDrawdown")
) );
bo.AddCustomMetric( "3. expectation (+/-)", expect );
bo.AddCustomMetric( "4. avg$trade", st.GetValue("AllAvgProfitLoss") );
bo.AddCustomMetric( "5a. avg$win : avg$loss", payoff );
bo.AddCustomMetric( "5b. %profitable", st.GetValue("WinnersPercent") );
bo.AddCustomMetric( "6. avg$drawdown * not correct *", abs(
st.GetValue("MaxTradeDrawdown") ) /
st.GetValue("AllQty") ); // not correct !
bo.AddCustomMetric( "7. max$win : avg$win", st.GetValue("WinnersLargestWin")
/
st.GetValue("WinnersAvgProfit") );
bo.AddCustomMetric( "8. total$profit : total$loss",
st.GetValue("WinnersTotalProfit") / abs(
st.GetValue("LosersTotalLoss") ) );
