Hi Scott
The one essential point above all else with the System Tester is that there must be sufficient funds
available to execute the trade.
I don't have time to list all the places where this requirement can come unstuck, but I suggest you
find Tom Sprunger's article on the System Tester before you go too much further. If it's not in the
files section of this group then it certainly is in the "equismetastock" group.
Kind regards
