Take a look at AmiBroker. Does everything MS
does, and permits testing with multiple stocks, as well as use of script in
coding. All for the outrageous price of $60.

Yes I believe for beginning investors or traders MS is a
great product,also to do Technical analysis by hand MS is great (if you
don't botherthe crashes now an then by moving some object). But
ones you want to dosome real advanced system testing then you are left
with one hand onyour back.M.-----Original

To test this I used the following simple

Long: Cross(Mov(C ,18 ,S ), Mov(C ,3 ,S )
)> Enter Short: Cross(Mov(C ,18

Short: Cross(Mov(C ,3 ,S ), Mov(C ,18 ,S )
