Dingo --Thanks for your response.  It got me thinking about my problem
(1).  Work around is to call both trade.AddCustomMetric("Profit so far",
PosSumProfit) and trade.AddCustomMetric("Loss so far", NegSumProfit) for
every trade.  This actually saves some code because it gets rid of some
of the for() loops. As for problem (2), I will send a suggestion to AB.--

  AFAIK both observations are by design. Can you specify the columns?
  Not in AB but you can write a script to export the results and delete
  or hide the columns in Excel with a macro. d

    Subject: Re: [amibroker] Custom Backtester Procedure

    Ray --I asked a very similar question two days ago, but
    unfortunately have received no replies to it.  I am repeating it
    below in hopes that someone will be able to answer both our
    questions.========== Original Questions =============1.  Using
    custom backtester, high level, I tried to add two columns to the
    AA view list. first column using:  trade.AddCustomMetric("Profit
    so far", PosSumProfit); second column using:  trade.AddCustomMetric("Loss
    so far", NegSumProfit);However, what I get instead is one column
    with label for which ever happened first.  It contains both
    correct "Profit so far" and "Loss so far" values. 2.  I do not
    want all of the default columns, just ones I specify.  Can I do
    this with high level custom backtester? If not, then with 
what?====================================Ray, I
    placed the trade.AddCustomMetric() statements inside the for()
    loops.  This places the column(s) on the AA tade list.  Using 
bo.AddCustomMetric()
    after the for() loops places the results on the Statistics page
    of the Backtest Report (the backtest has completed). -- Keith

      I have been studying it at
      http://www.amibroker.com/guide/a_custombacktest.html

      I have put my software in it as shown in the example by Paul
      Ho. It
      works BUT all it shows is 3 items in the REPORT, Ave
      Profit/loss %,
      AveProfit %, AveLoss %.

      What I want is to revise columns in the AA columns like Date,
      Ex date
      to change WIDTH to show minutes ,etc and delete columns that
      I do not
      require.

      Can this be done? Does anybody have software to do this.

      Ray
