rvalue1,

Thanks, but now you have me a bit nervous. How many of the MS trading 
systems (including Trade Oracle) alter events/signals back in time? 

For example, their systems (the non-pivotpoint ones) often show very 
good performance during backtesting -- is that true or is there 
any "cheating with historical events"?
