I
guess to keep this topic going . . . . My problem with MS 8's back testing
capability was it's inability to scan the entire market and make a single
buy. It seems to only be able to back test a system on an individual
security basis. It's as though I want the Back Tester to also have the
ability of the Explorer as well. Also I wanted the Back Tester to sell the
stock the next day. It could not do that.

Can
you tell me if Tradesim might be able to do what I've
described?

Hi Jose,
As usual, your words are full of wisdom. Last question: which
version of Tradesim do you recommend? Will the simple one for $149.00 do
the trick?
Thanks,

Problem. Anything that can be used in MetaStock can be passed on
to TradeSim's backtest analysis. Any indicators/formulae
combination.If you are serious about backtesting (and we all should
be), you won't regret using TradeSim.My only regret is that I wasted
two years developing non-performing systems in a blind way, using the MS
system tester. After all, there is a lot more to a successful
system than the bottom profit
line.Regards,jose--- In

I don't really need to look at anything more than perhaps 3 -5 pairs of
currencies and was wondering if MS 8.0 Pro has the capability of doing a
decent job or is Tradesim much better? Furthermore, suppose
