Tomasz,

I remember a while ago you said that using the Zig Zag function in Automatic
Analysis, would give you wrong results. What I want to know is - during the
testing process does the system test the indicators in a sequential historic
format ie: Tested up to the indicator date (Buy/Sell) without influence from
following quotes, which could change the indicator?

Regards.
