[amibroker] Re: Backtesting

Fantastic! Being able to automate multiple tests is what I am looking 
for!

Just one more question:

In you example Batchtest.js, you print to file a detailed report for 
each stock using "AA.Report".

This would make far too many reports as I intend to test 4 watchlists 
of 100 randomly selected stocks in 4 time periods with one script 
(total of 1600 reports)

Is it possible, instead of the detailed report for each stock, to 
output just the summary report for each backtest? (total of only 16 
reports). In other words is there a method similar to AA.Report but 
that will print the summary report?

Thanks
