Thanks, Dimitris, for the walk-forward link. I must have missed this. 

Regarding your second point, will that method work in portfolio backtester
for a basket of stocks rather than for one stock? For example, suppose I
wished to optimize my system on the N100 stocks at each 2-year period
beginning in, say, 1993. I select the top 7 stocks in that period and
optimize. I then do a walk-forward test on those 7 stocks for 1995 (the
1-year OOS period after the first IS opt period) and save the composite
equity curve developed for trading those 7 top stocks in 1995. Then, in the
next optimization period, 1994-1995, I repeated the process, this time
getting 7 different top stocks. I generate an OOS equity curve for those 7
stocks for the period 1996. I keep repeating this, saving each 1-year OOS
composite equity, then at the end concatenating all those OOS composite
equity curves together. Can this be done with the code you developed? 

TIA

Al Venosa

As for the concatenation, a similar problem was solved at the recent <BR>
IP, part II, through the STEP and Cum(STEP) functions.<BR>
