Lionel:
In the System Report, the entry called Days In Test refers to the number of
elapsed calendar days from the first data point loaded to the last. In
fact, for those users who are using MetaStock Professional and loading
intraday data, if the data points loaded do not span at least 1 day, the
value next to Days In Test will show "<1" to indicate that less than one day
elapsed from the first data point to the last.
This number is used in the calculations of any of the report values that are
annualized (such as Annual Percent gain/loss) etc.
