  <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 &#8220;Individual Backtest&#8221;, 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 &#8220;Old (v4.4) Backtester&#8221; was the 
  &#8220;REAL OLD&#8221; 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?
