<SPAN 
class=923365614-17102003>maybe I'm being a non-mathematical wimp, but how could 
a trading system predict genuinely random behavior? I'd think a trading system 
that did well at that would be trading on residual non-random behavior of 
the generator.

<SPAN 
class=923365614-17102003>are markets actually random? if they really are, excel 
and AB both can generate random numbers. if you mean something that's "random" 
but somehow similar to "the market", I'd be even more afraid that a winning 
strategy would be trading on patterns in the generator itself, rather than 
something inherent in the market.

>I 
  am looking for a random data generator. I have looked at Ami function and 
  in excel. But neither produce o/h/l/c. I want to be able to import the 
  data into Ami and backtest on the same data. My thinking is to backtest 
  over several sets of data and if the results are close maybe I have 
  something.Any thoughts 
ThanksJohn
