For custom analysis charts, I copy and paste the back-tester trades into Excel.  It only takes a minute to create a scatter plot using the chart wizard.  You can use Data Analysis->Histogram in Excel to automatically bucket and count the returns for a distribution histogram which you can then plot as a vertical bar chart using the chart wizard.

Two things I'm interested in seeing are a scatter plot of returns (where the x-axis would be trade number/y-axis returns) and a cumulative distribution of the returns to quickly gauge median return and tail behavior. I did some poking around in the AFL library and files section of the board, but that didn't turn up much. Before I run off and code it up myself I figured I'd ask here to see if anyone could point me to some existing code. Thanks in advance guys!
