There is a code part released by Bob Fulks to calculate Sharpe. If you are
using Sharpe, use that code instead of the system report, because the system
report only gets Sharpe right under very special circumstances. I use Sharpe
and Kelly as my main way of comparing strategies, even if winpercent,
average win per trade, drawdown and yearly rate of return are other
important parameters (yearly rate of return in system report seems unusable
as well).

If you are going to see effect over a number of issues, better than using
system report is fileappending and using something to consolidate the
results.
