Hi Guys,

Using Yahoo EOD data, I ran the code below as well and, FWIW, got:

S&P 100:

    Ending capital: 339,113
    Total trades: 832
    Long trades: 575
    Avg bars held: 11

N100:

    Ending capital: -179,134
    Total trades: 682
    Long trades: 479
    Avg bars held: 11
    Approximate equity April 2000: $1,100,000
    Approximate equity March 2002: $400,000
