Description

Currently, Optimization and Backtesting Results are not saved with the .pws file.

Basically, all the time spent setting up the tests and then generating these results is lost as soon as the portfolio is closed. This is a severe restriction on the real-world ability to conduct and document a test campaign for a portfolio.

Just as the results of Optimization and Backtesting in a workspace are saved in a .wsp file, so I suggest that the results Optimization and Backtesting in a portfolio be saved in the .pws file.

The single symbol usability of MC was dramatically and permanently enhanced at the point when the saving was added to workspaces. In effect, this unlocked the promise of the platform from the single-symbol testing point-of-view.

Doing the same for portfolios would be a similar and hugely positive advance.

Steps to reproduce this issue

Not saving is the current behavior as of MC 9.0 Release.

The new portfolio features of MC 9 have the potential to be a game changer.  Being able to save optimization results is essential to making that a reality. A lot of time and effort goes into optimization campaigns, and being able to save your work for comparative analysis is really a basic requirement.
i definiely vote to add this saiving functionality to the .pws file structure.

Having the ability to save these reports is a basic requirement
