Michael,
I have placed my replies your question after each. Hope it helps. By the
way, you can see the entire documentation online if you want to.

They have full backtesting capabilities, but do not have any optimization
yet. You would have to code this yourself. Not tirvial, but not rocket
science. When writing your systems, there is not limit to the combinations
of what you test. you can have the system based on one data steam and
buy/sell another, or an entire basket of symbols.

The limit of 8 input variable will be removed in the next point
release. Supposed to be out in mid-late Sept. At that point it will be
unlimited.

It does use scripting languages. That was the first set of indicator
support they began with. Since then, they now support compiled code -
either ActiveX Exe or .DLL. They have examples of this and also show how
to use someone elses code. The example is for Jurik indicators.

There is no portfolio capabilities at this time. I use a seperate program
that also uses the M3 as the data server to keep realtime updates. If all
you want to do is track your current investments, there are alert windows
as well as report windows. Also, there is a crude type of portfolio
tracking capability. You can use the Quote window to list multiple symbols
you want to track, high, low, etc. One of the fields is position. You can
input a quantity, cost and multiplier. Then you also have the ability to
sum your positions. So there is a minimal amount of portifolio
tracking. Not a full fledged portfolio program.
