[amibroker] Buy & Hold in futures backtesting

["jehmac" <jehmac@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have a problem trying to get meaningful buy&hold backtest report 
numbers when backtesting futures.

For instance, I have the following settings because I want to backtest
a system using only a single contract.

MarginDeposit = 2700;
NumContracts = 1;
PositionSize = NumContracts * MarginDeposit;
PointValue = 5;

I want the buy&hold results to be based on the single
contract. Instead, the buy and hold drawdown report appears to use:

(Initial Equity / PositionSize ) * PointValue * (High - Low) 

what I want is:

NumContracts * PointValue * (High - Low)

How do people do this? It seemed simple enough...

thanks,
jehmac
