Ken,
Profit/bar in the new backtester is in $
amounts.
Profit/bar in the old backtester is in % and
is the 3rd to last column in the results table (before MAE/MFE).

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

profit/bar in % which the newbacktester does not. I use this a lot
so it's one of the main reasonsI use it.--- In
