: I  have  not figured what triggers the Performance Report to
: calculate    the    Sharpe  ratio.   I use Bob Fulks' version,

implement its verions of the Sharpe Ratio because it assumes you're using
daily bars. You need at least 35 data points/ random variables to have a
statisticly significant reading.
