[EquisMetaStock Group] system tester output

Trading Reference Links

I did a long term system test on the Nasdaq 100 index from 1-5-1990 to 7-2-2009.

According to the system tester the "buy and hold" results were 492% or 25% annaulized.  

In January 1990 the .NDX was at 201.  On 7-2-09 it was at 1446.

1446/201 = 619 percent return.

That is 10.33 percent per year compounded annually.

Is anyone else seeing this kind of bad output from the system tester?

I also notice that the tester does not execute when it should.

Any thoughts?  Can this system test be relied upon?
