Ken,
Go to Settings/Report, then click on the Old Backtester button on the lower
right, and check any of the Trade List options except No Trade list. Run an
Old BT, and you should get a screen like the attached gif. Look at the last
column before the blank MAE and MFE columns. They are profit/bar, and the data
are in %.

<SPAN
>HB: I looked at that
and just looked again. They sure do not look like percentages to me
(47.79, 197,51,-67, etc) (this from a backtest I just clicked on). Plus,
the thing that says “Individual Backtest”, when you click this you get the OLD
backtester running but with NEW column outputs?? Is that correct?
I was thinking the third choice, which says “Old (v4.4) Backtester” was the
“REAL OLD” backtester. Why do you guys think the third column from the
end is in percent? Or perhaps there is a preference I do not know about
that makes it be in percent and I have mine in default $/bar.
Comment?
