no that is wrong.
pls do any backtest of the spx since 1960, the spx was at 50 and now at 900, annulized that is 7% but metastock displays % b/h annual gain at 35%, this is wrong.
thats why i wanted to see if anyone has already build any indicators measuring the real annulized returns for strategies or buy / hold.
 
thanks
