Hello, You don't need exploration at all. You can export equity curve directly and automatically to the text file at the end of backtest. It will be faster and easier than copy pasting.
see the comments section that shows a script that can be easily inserted as custom backtest proc http://www.amibroker.com/kb/2006/03/04/how-to-export-quotations-from-amibroker-to-csv-file/ SetOption("UseCustomBacktestProc", True ); if( Status("action") == actionPortfolio ) { bo = GetBacktesterObject(); bo.Backtest(); eq = Foreign("~~~EQUITY","C"); fh = fopen( "Equity.csv", "w" ); if( fh ) { fputs("Symbol,Date,Time,Equity\n", fh ); dn = DateNum(); tn = TimeNum(); for( i = 0; i < BarCount; i++ ) { Line = Name() + StrFormat(",%06.0f,%06.0f,%g\n", dn[ i ] % 1000000, tn[ i ], eq[ i ], ); fputs( Line, fh ); } fclose( fh ); } } Best regards, Tomasz Janeczko amibroker.com On 2010-02-18 01:33, ramoncummins wrote: > Thanks for the swift reply Tomasz, but this does involve running an > exploration which means that if I have a system in AA open and I want to > export the equity curve then I need to load this "data export" afl, then load > my system again etc each time - this becomes very time consuming (I guess I > could write the Equity curve to a text file each time).
