Thanks Joe,
I appear to be making progress as I can now get equity curves very close to
the old system tester. The difference is in the fact that only whole numbers
of shares are traded rather than the old way where every last fraction of a
cent from the available equity was used.
I still need to study your replies closely for more clues because my stop
exit still isn't working. I can get around this because my exit stop price
is always the OPEN, but it would be nice to get it working with (my idea of)
the correct settings.
I'm disappointed that there still doesn't seem to be provision for "equal"
position sizes.
Roy

at a limit of 100000 (which would never happen for the securities being
tested).
