Is it possible to share results with another member?

Is it possible to share the results from a back test or live trading with another member of the Quantopian community? For backtests I see an option to share the results with everyone, but not selectively add one or more users.

Thanks for the help,
Peter

I had the same issue. You cannot share backtests with selected individuals without collaborating. What I did recently was run pyfolio in research on the backtest id and prepared a fancy presentation of the backtest. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the help Pravin.

PyFolio is the best way to do this, it provides way more information than the standard backtest feature, and an html of the notebook can be shared over email with anybody.

@Delaney, does PyFolio need a minimum of 6 months of results?

Some of the metrics are 6 months rolling so a backtest with less than 6 months probably wouldn't work, no. Usually I've found you need at least 2 years worth of backtest data to make a reasonable tear sheet.
