[amibroker] Best backtest report metric to evaluate and pick optimization settings

Trading Reference Links

Ultimately, a high CAR will give the best results overall - but when 
constructiong trade systems using many symbols/stocks - RAR is also 
very valuable. However, picking optimization values around an 
extremely high RAR might lead to curve fitting (this situation will 
never come around again, as this RAR might be based on a very low 
number of trades). So what result metrics are in your view the best 
to pick optimization values on in this situation. Some suggestions: 

- RAR
- Avg Profit/Loss%
- Recovery Factor
- Profit Factor
- Payoff Ratio

Or one could calculate a meassurement like:

- RAR * CAR

But would be interested if somebody else has grabbled with this - 
and come to some conclusions...

Best regards
