trading recipes was around before back testing became the vogue. It allows
traders to backtest an entire portfoliol I am trying to track down the

He never marketed his product with the same guts, glitter, and guile as my
good buddy Howard at Omega...but the product does not require you to learn
an entire language that is useless outside backtesting.
