Roy,
I read
Tom's posting on the v8 System Tester. It was very interesting. I set the
options as he advised but still am having issues hitting all the trades (single
security test sample).
I am
getting some phenomenal returns on the System Tester for my list of 800
securities at 125, 250, and 500 bars. I know you can not assume past
history has any bearing on future price movements but I hope someday I
will have to figure out how to place large trades for real.
:-p
Thanks
for your time and help,
Scott
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
