Hi Notharold
In a word, no. The System tester has it's problems but many of them can be addressed by taking the time to figure out what is going wrong, then adopting procedures to steer clear of those issues. I've yet to see a complaint about the EST doing something wrong that couldn't be addressed and eliminated, and I've seen a few. Tom Sprunger has an excellent article in the files section that's a must-read for anyone with unresolved EST issues. Once you've read and digested that I'd be happy to discuss any remaining issues off-list.
Regards
Roy

Subject: [EquisMetaStock Group] System Tester
I've used the very simple MA system below on The FTSE 100 and the S+P
and neither produces the results one would expect from looking at the
graph with the MA's plotted (I think the S+P got just one signal over
20 years). When I tried all the systems supplied with Metastock V 9.0
I had a similar result:very few trades generated. I know that the
system tester isn't very good, but is it really that bad?
