Thanks for your answer Mike! I have made Amibroker my choice of trading software now.
I also learn that if one uses the Custom backtester one will have access to the Stats-object that contains all the performance metrics. The question here is: do the metrics here only apply to the last OOS period of the WalkForward test or are they an aritmetric average of the metric for all the xx OOS periods in the WF test?
