[EquisMetaStock Group] Re: system tester

thanks for the advice Super.

You know ever since I've begun to get a little "tricky" with my 
coding by including formula calls I've lost total confidence with my 
systems tester results. Not that I'm a fancy coder but since reading 
Roy's newsletter I've tried some advanced coding (advanced compared 
to my previous experience) but the system tester just doesn't 
produce what I "see" on the charts.

I'm going to have to resort to what others call "butt time" and 
paper trade and eye ball over selected periods to determine my 
trading performance.

Haven't ever looked at Tradesim, may have to put that on my list as 
I work through my stategy.
