[amibroker] Re: Is it possible to format the added metrics in custom backtester

["huanyanlu" <huanyan2000@xxxxxxxxx>]

HI

I hope to add a PER-TRADE custom metric to the trade list , NOT a 
custom metric to the backtest report, backtest "summary" and 
optimization result list.  The bo.AddCustomMetric() does not do what 
I want, and trade.AddCustomMetric() does not support format like 
bo.AddCustomMetric.

Anyway later I figured out that in AFL, values can be character as 
well as numeric, so I assign string formatted as "XYZ" to the values 
in trade.AddCustomMetric(),  the original problem is solved. 

Thanks for your attention / Huanyan
