Custom Criteria - TotalTrades > X

Postby shane1800 » 17 Mar 2014

Hi,

When running optimizations I would like to filter out systems that have less than x amount of total trades. While still seeing systems that have the highest NetProfit.

I'm guessing entering JS in the Custom Criteria place is the correct area to do this in?

I tried but was not able to get it working, then saw this thread with code but it's a bit over my head and looks like they adjust the total trade number and I'd rather have it be a firm threshold. Any advice appreciated.

Code: Select all

if (StrategyPerformance.AvgWinningTrade == 0 || StrategyPerformance.AvgLosingTrade == 0) {
return 0; // Prevents division by zero
}

var netProfit = StrategyPerformance.NetProfit;
var percentProfitable = StrategyPerformance.PercentProfitable / 100;
var ratioWinLoss = StrategyPerformance.AvgWinningTrade / Math.abs(StrategyPerformance.AvgLosingTrade);
var profitFactor = StrategyPerformance.GrossProfit / Math.abs(StrategyPerformance.GrossLoss);
var m = 30;
var p = ( StrategyPerformance.TotalTrades - m^0.8 )*-1;
var L = 1/(1+Math.exp(p));


return (netProfit * percentProfitable * ratioWinLoss * profitFactor*L);

Hello shane1800,

When TotalTrades is too low the output results are too low as well.
For example TotalTrades = 10, then p = 20, but L = 1 / 485165196.41
When TotalTrades = 50 then the output results are more significant.
