Radek,
Adding a column to the backtest report is described in the user guide:
http://www.amibroker.com/guide/a_custommetrics.html
However, it is not clear what you want the value to be. Your calculation applies to a single symbol. What do you want to display when you are backtesting a portfolio of multiple symbols?
If you only plan to backtest against a single symbol at a time, then you have 2 choices:
1. Use AddToComposite in your system.afl to save your calculation to an artificial symbol, then use Foreign from your custom_backtesting.afl to read the values from that artificial symbol.

2. Use SetForeign/RestorePriceArrays in your custom_backtesting.afl to perform the calculation on the actual symbol.

I believe that you can only control the column order of custom metrics relative to each other. All custom columns still must come after the default columns. I haven't played with that yet, but Tomasz mentioned it in a post on this forum a little while ago.
