On the System Summary pages of a search result, we see the name of the test result and a Gain % and drawdown percentage. I think it would be nice to have Net Gain % there instead. In fact, the Report page of a result seems to boast the Gross Gain % and would probably fair better with a Net Gain %. Net Gain % = (Earnigns - Starting Balance)/Starting Balance. This would actually be more accurate to a successful report versus a non successful report. afterall, it isn't how much an account can generate in gross earnings that is so important as how much the user can take out of the account, that seems to count. If an account makes $5000 in earnings but is $5050 in drawdown, not much to take home.

serve many people and your reward will come to you in many forms.
