Angelo,
if you need to generate buy or sell signals, the Scan option with Run
every (you may set it to run every n seconds) is what you need. I don't
think you are looking for a continuous backtesting of your system, do you?
Load your trading system in Automatic Analisys, add AlertIf( buy/sell )
and choose Run every n sec.
I'm sure it's what you're after.
