Yes , 
I too am using back tester and although I am extremely happy with the
AB software and if you dont BUY full version I think your mad .
May I suggest to the AB GUYS to have a look at tradesim bactesting
testing software to get an idea of some cool features . 
I would like to be able to access the functions in the back testign
result like a running % winners  etc ... This allows me to adjust
position size to how i trade in real life .

TRADESIM - 
It does have a clumsiness as it backs onto metastock BUT there r some
cool features to check out . If they are keen I can paste them more
specifics -

highlighting and eliminating trades that look unrealisitic
batch testing
monte carlo analysis
individual stock informaton success rate 
and many more 
calculating R 
expectancy

what i dont like  about tradsim -
is that u have to go from one software to the other which AB would not
have 


Regards 
mozza
