[EquisMetaStock Group] Using the enhanced system tester

Greetings all,

I have a newbie question about using the Metastock 9.0 enhanced system
tester.  When I first tried the Enhanced System Tester, I was pretty
eager to try out all the built-in tests on a selected group of stocks.
 Much to my chagrin, NONE of them could beat the profits from a simple
buy-and-hold strategy.  Granted I was testing a pretty good litter of
equities, but to have none of them succeed was mighty frustrating.

So I'm thinking, "now what?"  Do I run out and buy more of the myriad
plug-ins (Trade Oracle seems alluring) and try my luck there?  I'm
trying with all earnestness to make technical analysis in general a
part of my investing regimen, but results like these only discourage
me.  I've been studing John Murphy's classic TA text and so far that
seems like money well spent. I recently subscribed to TASC also in the
hopes of increasing my TA aptitude.

I realize I have a long way to go -- any advice on how to proceed in
this journeyman's process would be immensely appreciated!

Regards,

George
San Francisco, CA
