I know of nothing that comes close to TradeSim for backtesting
purposes.
Forget MetaStock's useless system tester.
Roy's amazingly useful TE indicators and explorations are bug-less and
accurate, but they can't replace TradeSim.
And from the little I know about AB's backtesting facilities, it
doesn't come close to real-life trade backtesting.
As much as Equis continues to ignore TradeSim (figure out way!),
TradeSim continues to be the most useful, complete backtesting
platform around. Spend the US$150, and save yourself a lot of grief..
