I would seem that Amibroker is expeing the argument ( in this case
ThisContractNameIn ) to be numeric (variant).
Try this AddCustomMetric("Contract (IN) " + ThisContractNameIn, 0);
What I'm trying to do is make the variable part of the title.
>From the Porfolio Backtester Interface Reference Guide:
bool AddCustomMetric( string Title, variant Value, [optional] variant
LongOnlyValue, [optional] variant ShortOnlyValue , [optional] variant
DecPlaces = 2 )
This method adds custom metric to the backtest report, backtest "summary"
and optimization result list. Title is a name of the metric to be displayed
in the report, Value is the value of the metric, optional arguments
LongOnlyValue, ShortOnlyValue allow to provide values for additional
long/short-only columns in the backtest report. Last argument DecPlaces
controls how many decimal places should be used to display the value.
