Tomasz,

I understand it will be a major overhaul of the backtest engine. I 
look forward to using it when it comes. 

I also expect it might slow the backtester down to a degree. 
Therefore I hope it can be an option that can be turned off to get 
the fastest speed possible for running optimizations. 

Hope your vacation was refreshing. Hope you also take a few 
afternoons off to enjoy the Polish sun this summer.

about signing up for a class in object-oriented programming. I just 
have a couple of questions regarding what types of testing it would 
be possible to do in AB with scripts/plug-ins. What I would like to 
do is this:

for my buy signals, evaluate the ones that pass and buy the one that 
best meets my criteria. Later, when I get a sell signal, sell that 
stock and buy a (probably) different one using the same test 
procedure as before. So, for example, over a 2 year period, my test 
would consist of buying and selling maybe 10 or 20 different stocks, 
using the same system. My questions are:

alone .exe which would access the AB database directly via Object 
Model or some other method and do this? In this case, I guess I 
would not actually be using AB itself, just its database. The idea 
would be to do this type of multi-stock testing and get the results 
by creating my own report. Thank you very much for any help or 
advice!
