Hello,

Please include the trade list, otherwise it is impossible to help.
To copy you should click with right mouse button over the __RESULT__LIST__ 
(not over the formula) in Automatic Analysis window.

If you have trouble with clicking in the right place you can
export the trade list by clicking on "Export" button after running backtest,
you will get this way the CSV file that you could attach to the e-mail.

Best regards,
