I agree totally. But their concept of testing "within the bar" by 
simulating what actually occurred within the bar using intraday data 
does actually work if TS8.1. (I have heard that it didn't work well in 
TS2000i.)

It is useful to test both with and without this feature on to see if 
you get the same results.
