Mark: I just got around to verifying this stated benefit for why you
continue to use the OLD (v4.4) backtester.
As I can not "see" this statistic anywhere, can you lead me by the hand
to show me where you get this statistic (profit/bar in %) and what
settings you make to ensure it appears.
I see a "Profit/bar" column in the new backtester output but it does not
seem to be in percent.
What am I missing, please.

Trade list for old backtester also gives profit/bar in % which the new
backtester does not. I use this a lot so it's one of the main reasons
I use it.
