  lets try tradingDingo,I appreciate your 
  helping Andrew to understand backtesting as it could also help me.  I 
  have been trying to understand how it works but have been stymied by 
  "apparent" inconsistencies.  There may be an explanation for them but 
  I have searched the User Guide and the archives but have not found 
  explanations.  One inconsistency(to me) shows up on Andrew's results. 
  For instance:The "Total net profit: 14240.39 does not equal the Profit 
  of winners: 13197.19 minus the Loss of losers: 0.00. Do theses numbers 
  include commissions?In my backtest the Profit of Winners less the 
  Loss of losers does add up to the Total net profit, however, the number of 
  trades does not match the results.  The dollars of profit include all 
  of the trades in the results but the number of trades counted is less than 
  a manual count.  For instance there will be 32 winning trades and 35 
  losing trades but only 8 winning trades and 18 losing trades will be 
  totaled in the results and only 8 and 18 tickers will have a 1 for a trade 
  in the results listing.  Am I missing something?Does the 
  backtester take the equity and use it on the first trade candidate and 
  pass on another trade candidate when it appears if all of the 
  equity/margin is involved in the first trade? When the first trade is sold 
  does it then become available for another trade?  Does that explain 
  why the number of trades in the results is less than the stocks that met 
  the buy/sell criteria? Will increasing the equity include some of those 
  trades?Thanks,Ed--- In
