[EquisMetaStock Group] Re: System Tester, Number of Bars

... just my opinion, but

Although 2000 bars ago the stock and the market might have been 
completely different than it is now, the numbers/system/pattern used 
on that stock are independent of time and may produce profitable (or 
losing) trade signals that might be representative of another stock 
at another time.

The trick is to find the right code, to identify the right trades in 
the right stock at the right time..... I believe it to be widely 
known as a holy grail!

Hope this helps.

wabbit :D
