I saw it before, but can not configure the setting now.

How do I compare two or more charts of gain/loss from back testing results on 1 screen/window?

Thanks

Backtest System1 then backtest System2 and they will both appear on the same window.

Backtesting results have always been as you state above … each new row clicked replaces the equity curve of the previous row clicked.

To achieve what you want to do, you need to ‘save the new results row’ as a new System … you can easily do this by clicking on the icon 2nd from left on your 1st screenshot and choosing the option for ‘new system’ … I’m going from memory, so if you have problems let us know and we will post more info.

Tip:
New System name has to be no more than 30 characters.

Thank you, I think you are correct.

I just noticed if you run 2 consecutive back tests both equity charts are on same window (same as your suggestion).

I hoped I could see 2 equity charts from same “optimization report”. Seems not.

Now I lost “optimization report” on back testing. I get other results. (closed trades, trade history etc)

Any ideas?

Thank you a lot.

Why not just run the optimisation report again?

You may mean something else?
