I don't see a way to select the benchmark in the new version of the terminal. Can someone help me figure out how I can select the benchmark? Attached is a screenshot of my terminal. Thank you.

Hi Anshul,
I know it can be selected programmatically with:
self.SetBenchmark()
There are four different signatures for that one. You should do it in Initialize().

Thank you Fred. I assume that in the new terminal, there is no way to select the benchmark after running the way it was possible in the old terminal (based on this blog post: https://www.quantconnect.com/blog/the-importance-of-benchmarking/)?

Yep, I never noticed it but it seems that the dropdown was removed yes.
