David,

How does AIQ compare to TS2K in terms of intraday backtesting?  
For example, if I want to backtest on intraday data, can I do things 
like:
1. Provide a custom data list of stocks I want to use for the 
backtest
2. Backtest over multiple days?
3. Grab intermediate data with a function comparable to 
EasyLanguage's FileAppend

How's the quality of AIQ's historical intraday data?

TIA,

Cash
