Thanks Graham
Of course!
from the Backtester results I can see the column with the expectancy
figures.
Then I just export this to csv and plot this in Excel which is what I
will do for the moment.
I will look at the Addtocomposite function again to see if I can extract
that data into a composite symbol.
I guess though if I am only getting 30 trades per year on a given
strategy that will be an array that will need padding of data, and may
not look too pretty.

Anyone have any pointers as to how to Plot the running expectancy
after
I have run a Backtest?
In Excel when I walk forward manually, I plot my Expectancy like
this:
Currently I place these trade on a Demo account to acquire the
data for
entries and exits.
This is quite time consuming.
I want to plot similar or the same in a pane after running a
Backtest.
When Positive and rising switch back to trading this strategy.
When Negative and or Falling, stop using this strategy.
Any pointers in the right direction would be appreciated, but I
suspect
this may involve more programming than
I am capable of and may wish to farm this out.
