Not exactly. The first number is the daily sum of your profit or loss for that day (it will be coded either green or red depending how well your strategy and the trading rules you applied fared).

In your example if the number was green 58, you would have made 58 points on 100 trades.

As a tip when I see 100 trades in a day for a strategy I'm testing, I know I should go back and tighten up my filters - that's just too many trades to ask a trader to do in a day. Reducing the number of alerts will make the results of the backtest a bit more real.
