<DIV><SPAN class=920432201-24021999><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial size=2>That's 
what I like about your system.&nbsp; Makes a lot more sense than ours, 
IMHO.&nbsp; You have price targets and stops which effectively manage your trade 
for you.&nbsp; OTOH, our system just calls the next turn in the market, either 
up or down, and we play the probability that we're right 75% of the time in 
calling the trade correctly.&nbsp; We have no idea where we're going ;) or where 
we'll end up.&nbsp; By adding some of your approach, we might be able to exit 
certain trades earlier with more profit.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=920432201-24021999><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial size=2>Good 
luck with your positions.&nbsp; We're still long the S&amp;Ps at 1244.&nbsp; 
Maybe we'll see new highs everywhere before the next turn.&nbsp; Our 
intermediate signal has been bullish since 10/1/98 (S&amp;Ps @994).&nbsp; Even 
for our system, that's a long time.&nbsp; Almost like long term capital 
gains.&nbsp; :)</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

I'm just starting with VB myself.  My system is running under Clipper and
with Excel.  Now I want to add the file handling and misc. other features.

Not that Equis will be very happy about the trend of this thread, but
...

Does anyone have an example of a simple system developed in VB or Excel,
that would generate at least some of the basic performance measures?:
number of trades, % winners, average win, etc.

Cheers,
