1. create a watchlist with the symbols - QQQQ, MDY, SPY, DIA, IWM, 
IJT, IJS
2. In the AA window - select filter , then click on define and 
select the watchlist.
3. Click on settings -> general tab , select daily
   on report tab - you can either select trade list or detailed 
report
4. Click on back test
5. click on report 

Portfolio trading works in back test mode only.

The strategy listed is not doing exactly what I thought it would and 
doesn't correlate with what was claimed in the article. It is a work 
in progress.
