[EquisMetaStock Group] Re: System Testing Break outs of large test (Enhanced Tester)

To clarify:  How do you break out a long ten year test into yearly
data so that you can see how evenly the system trades year by year?

  I attempted to do this by generating a lot of yearly system tests,
but now realize that is a flawed process because the yearly test does
not necessarily start each year in whatever position the larger system
test would have held going into that year.  

So my breaking down of my system on a year by year basis has been
flawed.  How do I get around this?
