Bob,

I've
run into this as well with stored data vs. eSignal data. Like you, I have
data stored beyond what eSignal has on their servers. I couldn't seem to
be able to figure out a way to change the time frame from 1 min to something
higher (I store the ES in one min format also) within the new system
tester.

<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff

change it to five minutes and then save the data in that format to another file
(I created another security in the Downloader and did a cut and paste -
this may or may not be necessary - is there a way to just save the data directly
to a new file in MS?). You can create a new symbol called
ES-2002-5M. Then run your tests on that file.

By the
way, I think once you get used to working with the new system tester, you'll
really like it. It is just like anything new, it takes some getting used
to.

BobYes, I understand, that the longer time frame intraday data can
be selected from eSignal ratther than the cache, and the test done on
that data. BUT, eSignal only has 60 days of intraday data on its
tick servers! I have 8 months of data saved for the eminis in the
cache as continuous futures emini data. That is why I would like to
be able to use the cache in longer than 1 minute time frame.Maybe
eSignals upgrading of their tick servers by storing more data will
eventually allieviate this problem.To
