Hi All, I was wondering if someone knows a quick way to export the results from system tester into an excel file. So what i want is to be able to export the results that I get after, lets say an optimization, into an excel file. I definitely do not want to do this by copy-paste. There is also the tedious way of saving things as html, but that's not efficient either. Essentially I would want to take the order and equity tabs for each result and put it in an excel sheet. My assumption is that there has to be an easy way to accomplish this. I hope there is someone knowledgable out there who can help. Thanks in advance!

Bismark It may not be appropriate for the systems you're testing but there is another possible approach you could take. If the Trade Equity tools can run your optimised formulas then moving the results to Excel is as simple as copy and paste up to 4 exploration results. Trade Equity is an indicator-based equity curve tool that explorations exploit to generate various trade statistics about all securities in the portfolio under test. The indicators available are for long or short systems only, not both, and the user options available are somewhat less sophisticated than those for the Enhanced System Tester. I find that Trade Equity results, summarised in Excel, give me a better idea of how a system is performing than the EST on its own. There is an MFL-only version of Trade Equity, but the dll assisted versions run somewhat faster and are preferable for that reason. However you can still disect the tools, and even build your own explorations for more esoteric trade stats if you want. TradeSim it's not, but for a freebie you'd hardly expect it to be. You can find formulas and supporting dlls at either of the following two links. In the event that the links get removed you can write to me at rlarsen@man.quik.co.nz for further directions. www.metastocktools.com www.metastocktips.co.nz Roy
