  <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?
