Hi,
What you are suggestiong is going to be both difficult and error prone.
1. I am not aware of any way to get the name of the active formula,
other than using COM to find the active window and parse its titlebar.
2. The filter settings allow you to include from any combination of
group, wathlist, market, etc. as well as simultaneously exclude any of
the same. So, what name would you use for a mixture like that?
You might be better off declaring a ParamStr that you set before the run
such that the value entered is used as the name of the resulting equity
curve. Use the Parameters buttom from the AA window to set the desired
composite name, then run the backtest.
e.g.
SetTradeDelays(0,0,0,0);
SetPositionSize(2, spsPercentOfEquity);
fast = MA(Close, 25);
slow = MA(Close, 200);
Buy = Cross(fast, slow);
Sell = Cross(slow, fast);
atcName = ParamStr("Equity Name", "EC_Custom");
SetCustomBacktestProc("");
if (Status("action") == actionPortfolio) {
bo = GetBacktesterObject();
bo.Backtest();
if (StrFind(atcName, "~") != 1) {
atcName = "~~~" + atcName;
}
AddToComposite(Foreign("~~~Equity", "C"), atcName, "X",
atcFlagDefaults | atcFlagEnableInPortfolio);
}

filter group, I will create a new equity line that has a label that
reflects the group was being filtered for that particular backtest.
