Mike,

Thanks for your reply.

I wasn't sharp enough to think of custom metric.
Yes, it'll do for "worst."

I was thinking of other performance stats like "combined" OOS #trades,
Avg Profit/Loss, etc. as in normal performance report.
I can import walkforward.html under AmiBroker directory into Excel and
calculate myself but.. Sharpe Ratio ?

I was hoping all the temporary files were stored somewhere and there
was a way to combined them to produce "worst", "2nd  best", "100th
best," etc OOS results.

best regards,
DXD
