Display the custom Optimization Grid for Backtesting

[ChuckAllen]

* Allow the same Optimization Results page to be displayed when you do
a Backtest.
The information in these columns is exactly how I want to see the
results. However, they are unavailable in a backtest. You must do
a 1 parameter loop optimization instead of a backtest.

Your Response:
I am not sure if I follow. What exactly do you like to be displayed in a Backtest result?

My Response:
When you run a Backtest, you only get the standard results screen.
When you run an Optimization, I can customize the grid to show information that is important to me. THAT is the Grid/Screen that I should be able to display.
That way, I can see the exact same data in the exact same format as my optimization results.

What 'grid' do you refer that you can customize to display the information you like?

The difference in results I see on my end, is that an optimization will produce an Instruments and Optimizer tab.

Pick any Strategy & Instrument.
Run a Backtest.
The Only screen you get has 4 columns:
Performance, All Trades, Long Trades, and Short Trades.

Pick the same Strategy & Instrument.
Run an Optimization.
USE THE EXACT SAME PARAMETERS so only 1 test is run.
That will save a ton of time.
Now hit the Optimize Tab.
This is the screen that is not available from a Backtest.
The Summary Tab (lower section) is the only report that you
can get from the Backtest...not the Optimize report that is on
the top section.

I see, thank you for clarifying. I will forward it to Development to put it on the list of future considerations.
