| 
| 
| Hi all..If i am running a portfolio backtest and i sell a 
| stock at the opening price of a given bar, will the cash made 
| available by the sale be considered available for other buy 
| signals on other securities during that same bar?
| 
| eg on a 1-hour timeframe, suppose allmy capital is invested 
| in MSFT and i sell my position of MSFT at the open of the 
| 10:30-11:30 am bar (ie at 10:30). Then I get a buy signal on 
| QCOM at 10:01am (ie in the same 10:30 to 11:30 bar)...In live 
| trading there would be no problem buying QCOM with the 
| proceeds of the MSFT trade, but does the Portfolio Backtester 
| factor that in or does it assume the money becomes available 
| only on the next bar after the sell bar (ie as of 11:30am)?
| 
| Thanks a lot
|
