I think Buck Tonetti sounds a lot better than Fred, don't you? :-))

Excuse me for being persistent, but you wrote: "With regards to MAR in the 
Excel sheet, you are correct in that MAR =CAR / MDD, but CAR is not 
available in the one line output summaries from AA backtests, so I did in 
the spreadsheet calculate it as you say as this is sufficient to provide a 
number to rank the vehicles with." So, what you are saying is that, to be a 
purist and be perfectly correct, the MAR calculation you showed in the excel 
spreadsheet is really incorrect from the standpoint of what CAR actually is, 
and if the output summaries of AB gave Annual System % Return, you would use 
that in place of CAR for calculating the MAR, right? I just wanted to make 
this clear in my mind for some other projects I'm working on right now. 
Thanks.
