Step 1

After backtesting, go to the "Report" tab. Right-click in the tab and select "Save as Report".

Once the file is saved, the Strategy Tester Report will open in your web browser.

Step 1

After backtesting, right-click in the "Backtest" tab and hover the pointer over "Report". Select "Open XML (MS Office Excel 2007)" or "HTML (Internet Explorer)".

Step 3

Once the file is saved, the testing report will open in your web browser if "HTML (Internet Explorer)" was selected. If "Open XML (MS Office Excel 2007)" was selected, nothing will be displayed.
