Bob - sorry for the slow response, I've been out of my office most of the
day. The answer to your question is yes, that can be done in Version 2.0.
User programs have direct access to the TLData database. They can request a
data series for a symbol with a specified bar compression, test the
performance of a trading system, request a data series for the same (or a
different) symbol with a different bar data compression, test trading system
performance again, etc. That can be repeated any number of times.

Jim, does TradeLab software have the capability of optimizing a system based
on tick bars by varying the number of ticks per bar?
Thanks,
BobR
