the security being traded. Again though, I'm advocating that when using
the system tester you should break your data down into small blocks and use some
common sense when looking at the results.

Thus,
if you have a $5 stock and the system made 5 trades in 3 months for a total of
$1.00 in profits, you are better off than if you have a $30 stock and the system
made 5 trades in 3 months for the same $1.00 in profits.

I
realize that the MSST is not perfect. But just as you have advocated that
one should work with MS rather than trying to move on to other products, I'm
just offering up a few good words for the MSST. I think you can work with
it and produce some meaningful information.

[Metastockusers] Re: MS System Tester vs
TradeSimJoe> As I mentioned before you
don't have to use the compounding feature - just select points
only.The points only option is only of some use when the multiple
issues under test all fall within areasonably close price range. As the
price range gets greater the relevance of the test resultsfalls away. The
range of stocks I test varies from 10c to $5, and points only results are
heavilyweighted in favour of the $5 end of the range. Points moves are
larger for higher priced stocks butreal trading profits/losses are more
likely to be smaller.Roy
