How to exclude open trades from the backtest report

AFL Programming
#1

This seems like it should be obvious to me but I have spent a lot of time looking for a way to exclude open trades (or include only closed trades) in the portfolio backtest report and associated stats. Can anyone help point me in the right direction before I pull out what's left of my hair?

Thanks!

@JM2138 using the Custom Backtest interface to iterate through closed trade list you could use GetFirstTrade() / GetNextTrade() methods of Backtester object

for( trade = bo.GetFirstTrade(); trade; trade = bo.GetNextTrade() )
     {
          // trade variable now holds Trade object
     }
