[EquisMetaStock Group] How to backtest a portfolio if the Market closes on Friday only

Hello 

I am trying to backtest my trading system and the problem I am 
facing is that I am trading in Saudi Stock market where it closes on 
Friday Only, and MS 9.0 is designed to work in a market where the 
weekend is Saturday and Saunday which is not the case in the Saudi 
Stock market. As a result, the Explorer and the Enhanced System 
Tester tools in Metastock produce incorrect results. 

I am aware of some software that has the capability of backtesting 
such as

1-TradeSim 2- Tradecision 3- AnalyzXLS 4- wealth-lab

The only software I tried so far is MS 9.0 and personally, I prefer 
to use MS 9.0 since I am familiar with it and it is user friendly.

I am thinking to try either tradecison or/and AnalyzXLS and I don't 
know if they are worth trying. I am trying to find a solution to my 
problem and I would like to hear from others and learn from them. 

I would appreciate it if anyone can direct me to the best 
tool/software that I can use to backtest my trading system and work 
correctly in the Saudi stock market. The data I am using is EOD and 
I import it at the end of each day from an Ascii file.

Thanks in advance for your help
