			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>This formula will fall apart at the moment you switch it on just because it will have &quot;Division by zero&quot; for the initial strategies with no deals.</p><p>I can easily prevent the crash by checking the divisor and to set the result to 0 when the divisor&nbsp; = 0. However, this will make the formula useless. FSB will not be possible to distinguish the value of strategies with 0 trades and&nbsp; with 1 profitable trade.</p><p>Ok. than I can make it 0 when there is no deals and 100 when the divisor is 0 and when there is at least one deal. It will solve the problem with the zero deals but will not be possible to distinguish strategies with 1, 2 or 100 winning deals. </p><p>If you want you can play with that. You can easily implement the formula and to show the results in the strategy output by modifying the &quot;AccountStatistics.cs&quot; file in the &quot;C:\Program Files\Forex Strategy Builder Pro\User Files\Code&quot; folder.</p><p>When you do it, switch on the Custom Account Statistics option in the Control panel.</p><p><a href="http://postimg.org/image/7kah7giix/"><span class="postimg"><img src="http://s28.postimg.org/7kah7giix/screenshot_1181.jpg" alt="http://s28.postimg.org/7kah7giix/screenshot_1181.jpg" /></span></a></p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Hello, Miro,</p><p>sorry for not realizing that you have answered.</p><p>This is just an idea for your consideration to help to find better measure of risk, since&nbsp; <br />although mathematically it is a risk to deviate from the expected values in both directions, we can live with it as long as it is happening on the winner side.<br />Consequently, we consider risk of losing only. </p><br /><p>&quot;The formula is incomplete and will crash if we have one or several winning deals producing higher return that the designated target return (&quot;Division by zero&quot;)&quot; -</p><p>I really doubt. A sum of squares of differences can hardly add up to be zero, since you are adding up positive numbers only. The only case that DIV/0 may happen that the data are running at a constant level and we were smart enough to foresee&nbsp; this level, or we are always winning.&nbsp; &nbsp;<br />Out of these cases it describes the perceived risk better than Sharpe ratio.</p>]]></content>
