As you 
know, the way I get around the issue you raise (late entry on beaten down 
stocks) is that I only enter new positions for the first few days after the 
trend turns up.   I only mention it here for Dave's 
interest.

  PMTo: amibroker@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxSubject: [amibroker] When 
  not to replace (was Setting a RANK number )Yes, I 
  prefer to test without any stops. Later I can add stops in to see if 
  they help. Often they do not. But one can still use them and give up a bit 
  of profit for some peace of mind.Also I am testing some systems 
  should NOT replace any stock that is stopped out. For example, if one is 
  buying the most beaten down stocks just as the market starts to turn up, 
  one does definitely does not want to buy a beaten down stock half way up a 
  long up trend. b--- In amibroker@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,
