Ah!
So all I need to do is take the formula I have been using that produces
%'s and add the line " PositionSize = BuyPrice;" and then the back test
report will show the "Total net profit:" in points? That's what looks
it looks like on my first attempt.
Thanks for the very quick response on this Tomasz!!

Dale,
There is a typo in the guide, it should say:
PositionSize = MarginDeposit = 1;
also
Trading futures involves margin.
If you want to trade single STOCK you should write:
PositionSize = BuyPrice;
and do not turn on Futures mode.
