Dear Shaggs, when you write you cannot make a strategy: what do you mean? You have trouble coding it or it is not performing as good as expected?
Regarding the zooming in on the chart interface, I wholeheartedly agree. It also became immediately a problem to me. It would be nice if one could choose start and end time in the chart in a flexible way to zoom in and out. This is very helpful when trying to analyze what happened at a specific point. Currently, I am working on week-based data. But that usually means that one cannot see directly which trade happened before which one. It might also be interesting to have the possibility to have further data in the chart (only on demand as this takes to much screen space). This might be thinks like the book-balance or other derived data. Having the capability of using multiple data sets and work on this would be nice, but as you write this is a can of worms. Thus I see it only on a much larger time-scale than the chart enhancement. In between of the two it would also be nice to have enhancements for the optimizer: a) storage of result along with all data relevant to reconstructing it. - There goes (even with divide and conquer) so much time into optimizing, it would be worthwhile if we could save this for later comparison. b) multi-objective optimization. A user-defined function that combines things like net-profit, Drawdown, etc. for selecting the "best" result. As I do also not look for one only... Right and a nice feature would be batch-processing for back-testing. Might sound weird? Sure. But they way I work is I have a number of data sets. I use one for optimizing, but if I have a promising strategy, I want to have the backtest results for all the others. (I collect and compare this data with excel). Currently this means selecting twenty times a file and then type the result from the screen to excel.) - I do not want to combine the data sets in a single one, as the results than would be not tellling me enough. The different data sets relate to different market situations. Cheers Klaus -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "JBookTrader" group.
