That's exactly how Leo Timmermans program works, as I reported last night.

  Subject: [amibroker] Re: Random Data 
  Generator
  Hello,I think I did not explain well for the 
  previous post about the program I posted on amibroker-beta file area. ( I 
  copied my original post below)It uses Chande's idea, from an user 
  supplied base data quote file to generate N new data files that can be 
  imported into AB. It does NOT generate new date, it re-uses the date range 
  from the base file.Hence, after all the new data files generated and 
  imported, it is just like you have N new tickers with same beginning date 
  and ending date. You can backtest them individually or use the new 
  portfolio backtest file on them.at current design, you can 
  generate up to 1000 new data files in one shot, each can have up to 20 
  years worth.Thomas---Hello,Here is a little 
  program that synthesizes new data sets from exising quote file.In 
  the zip file, there are exe file and some example files, raw and 
  syntehsized.Type in the exe file name by itself gives some simple 
  usage and other tips.See 'Beyond Technical Analysis' by Tushar 
  Chande for detailed info.I tried to upload to the file area 
  unfortunately it is too crowded. Only if some of the members can 
  remove those very old or obsolete files to free up some 
  space.Thomas------ In

  John:> > Back in June of 2002, Leo Timmermans wrote a small 
  program for AB called scrambler.exe. It was based on Tuchar Chande's work. 
  It works by taking the last x bars of data from any stock or watchlist of 
  your choosing (x = any number you choose), scrambling them, and then 
  generating random OHLC data x bars into the future. You can then apply 
  your system to the new data to see if it can spot any price 
  inefficiencies even though the data are random. It's a very slick 
  program. I no longer have it on my hard drive, but if you do a search 
  around May or June of 2002, you might find references to it. I 
  remember I posted a trial test of it. Maybe Leo is monitoring this 
  list and if he is, he can chime in. Good luck. Let me know how it 
  turns out. > > Al Venosa>   ----- Original
