[amibroker] backtester mfe/mae calculation



PureBytes Links

Trading Reference Links

The backtester provides the mfe and mae in % only. When i calculate 
it by hand and using the bracketTrader, it provides in value which on 
further analysis does not transulate into matching % that amibroker 
provides. 
here is the example.

for eg.
Ticker	EUR.USD-IDEALPRO-CASH	
Trade	Long	
Date	06/09/2007 4:55	
Price	1.3661	
Ex. date	06/09/2007 5:10	
Ex. Price	1.36665	
% chg	0.04%	
Profit	4.03	
% Profit	0.04%	
Contracts	7320.11	
Position value	10000
Cum. Profit	4.03
# bars	4
Profit/bar	1.01
MAE	-0.02%
MFE	0.04%
Scale In/Out	0/0


Bracket trader and visually looking at buy/sell signals on the 
backtester chart provides the MFE and MAE to be 
MAE		-0.0002
MFE		0.0008


I have 4.96 version amibroker. Is this a Bug? How can i extract the 
MFE/MAE values instead of % from the backtester to confirm it.
regards

Seede.
