I think the MS 7.0 Pro System Tester functions exactly the same way
as the EOD version. There is a small problem with the equity curve during
the delay period. The equity curve is not correct for these one or two bars,
but it is correct once the delay is complete. I assume the same applies to
MS Pro 7.0. Since this glitch is only apparent during the delay period it's
hardly worth worrying about.

I'm not aware of anyone other than myself ever having comment on it,
and I only spotted it when checking Trade Equity indicator values against
the equity curve from the system tester

There are good reasons why you should upgrade, and good reasons why
you should stay with 7.0. The new System Tester is actually much more
versatile than the old one, but it has many more traps for the unwary as
well. It's not a tool that you can learn to use properly in a couple of hours,
or even days.
