Post subject:  Confirm backtest report generation with user if very large

Background:
If I run a backtest with the "Generate Report" option checked, then the JF client generates a report listing all the trades.
Sometimes, however, my backtest made millions of trades.

Request:
If more than (say) 100 000 trades were made in a backtest, then first throw a prompt box at the user with a message such as
"The report will be HUGE, and generating it may take some time, and even crash your computer. Are you sure you want to generate it?"
before generating the report.
