<DIV><SPAN class=860052722-10042000></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=860052722-10042000>Does anybody know a way how to test a
system on MULTIPLE SECURITIES in MS. The system enters with a
stop order and thus NOT at open or close ! And would like to fine-tune
my exits through optimisation. I'm getting pretty desperate, I've been
waiting for some years now hoping MS would add simple features like
these. So if anybody has a suggestion I like to hear it. I can't
believe that this is not possible in MS and don't you guys are in need for
such features ? This I can't believe that nobody complained until now,
or is MS for average to beginning traders/investors and should I look for an
other program. What about Supercharts, is this possible in
Supercharts. </SPAN></DIV>
