Dear Tom,

The reason why the backtesting reports are huge is not
the HTML format, but the fact that there is really huge
amount of data to be presented.

AmiBroker generates minimal (hand optimized) HTML code
without ANY unneeded tags, it also uses CSS tag redefinition
to minimize the size of HTML output.

I would suggest to share only OVERALL (summary) results
without individual stock results. 

Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
