If the System Tester would also note the % increase/decrease your problems
should be solved.
I have another question regarding the System Tester. Almost every strategie
I test with the System Tester losses against the Buy and Hold strategie.
It's not that my strategies are bad, but because a lot of my systems require
a lot of data. Therefore the first buy is at a much higher price than my
first datapoint, which is used for the Buy and Hold strategie. Is there an
option/workaround to set the date at which the Buy and Hold strategie should
start?
