Hello Jose,
Thanks for that post. I thought that I was the only one to think that the
MS system tester was a shocker. I upgraded to v8 for the 'enhanced' system
tester but reverted to v7.2 pretty quickly when I realised what the MS
definition of 'enhanced' was..
Another widely overlooked method of backtesting is the use of Excel. You
can do absolutely whatever you want with it.
Good trading, Dave.
Regards,
Kevin
