Hi Dingo,
I was having a brain freeze..
I recently switched over from another program,and I naively assumed that the Buy and Hold in Ami was a "Benchmark" buy and hold return.Its not
I would like to see a performance report that shows the selected backtested systems return
vs a buy and hold of user selected benchmarks(S&P 500,equal weighted S&P500).
It would be nice to have the Alpha,Beta,Rsquared stats as well as the relative Sharpes
Thanks for the input,and I will bring it up in the suggestion area
Allan
