Looking for algorithm developer

The simple rule is indeed much too simple.
One would like of course like to select only the best system only. Of those 10.000, 5000 can have a equity>0, that may sound good, but if those 5000 systems equity are stronly heading towards equity=0 that's not good at all.
Select top 1 equity does not work as well. Because one is switching from system to system to much and does not work.
The target system can be more or less described a 45 degree angle line starting from 0 upwards.

So ... you want systems with equity increasing over time ... the biggest or most consistent increases marking the most valuable systems ... right?

indeed correct. The biggest equity is not the most important, stability is. With more stability the risk decreases.

OK, so we know the goal.  If we're going to try to come up w/ the algorithm here, I (or any other experts who jump in) will need to see the data structure and some sample data.

If you're asking about how to find a good developer ... I'm partial to the developers here @ EE.  You'll want someone strong in SQL Server as well as your application's programming language -- is that VB6?

Several of the top experts say things in their profiles like "Yes, you can hire me" or "For evening work contact me".  You can certainly click through the profiles of experts who've caught your attention looking for such things.  Or if you want some who may be watching this thread to contact you, you could edit your profile to include an email address.  You may just get some top-notch people responding.  If the people who respond have a lot of points in the areas you're interested in, that is your technical interview all done for you!

Indeed the programming language will be vb6 and sql server programming. I will gather some sample data and post it.
In your opinion would there be a solution to this problem?

I would think there would be a solution.  It's a matter of defining the algorithm and turning it into code.  The difficult part will be the definition -- how do we quantify stability?

What's in my mind right now would be looking at the differences in equity from one day to the next ... then finding the standard deviation of those daily changes.  Positive equity and low standard deviation sounds like a definition of stability.

What do you think?

Currently I was trying more or less that approach with :drawdown
Drawdown=difference between highest high equity and lowest low equity after the highest high

The smaller the drawdown the more stable the system is. However this is resulting into problems.

While doing :select signals from systems where drawdown<x will give x number of results.
Let's say 1000. So 1000 signals are then combined into 1 main trading signal.
If 800 of those signals are heading towards the maximum allow drawdown and only 200 are holding up, the result will be that the main signal will generate a loss.

A solution might be select top 1 lowest drawdown. However this does not work either, because then sometimes system 1 is best, next day system 2000 etc. This switching is killing for the main result.

OK, you're bringing in several more factors ...  2 thoughts.

1. I can't come up with much meaningful until I see the sample data you're collecting. 
2. This is likely to be a research-intensive process with a good deal of trial & error involved. 

Please find enclosed :
1. Screenshot of my application with tested selecting criteria
2. A file with a target system. This system is good enough for selection. With other words, this would be the needle in the haystack.
9999 bad performing models and 1 good one which has to be found.

Please find enclosed a database example with 11 systems.
Systems are identified by column Systemident.
Other columns can be added if needed. Currently I can select on equity, drawdown etc.
Mind you that selection must start at the first date entry, not looking backward. Looking backwards from 2009 is very easy to see which system approaches tjhe target system.

The database is online, so if needed I can supply login information...

Could you add column headings to Database-example.txt ?

Thanks.

I'm sorry, missed that one....
Is this workable?
