The AA Settings Tab is labeled Backtester. The Periodicity you choose
applies not only to Back Test  but also to Scan and Explore.

Hi Bob,

Thanks for encouragement.  I am new to AMIBroker and have not got so
far as to try backtesting so when you say check your backtested
periodicity setting I do not know what that means, YET!  Can you
explain?  Maybe this will be my start into backtesting.

Thanks,
Alann
