RE: [RT] Backtest software

[<ddwilliams@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jim,

 

I am sure the software is everything you say it is.  My problem with their whole processes of get you setup for the trial version.  Very confusing, and no support on Saturday.  I had a subscription to the TS2000 years ago, and unfortunately, I had untold problems with their downloads.  Granted, that was back in the days when the internet was new.  You would think that 12 years later their service was a little better, but apparently not, at least for me. :-(

That is strange. I’ve had the exact opposite experience. Did you do the StockFinder 4.0 or the web version? I don’t use the web-version. I have it on my desktop and my laptop. I travel a lot and really like the fact that I can work on my ideas, screen stocks/ETFs and backtest ideas on the road.

Like anything, there’s definitely a learning curve.

When I’ve called cust serv, they fixed me  right up.

I heard of another software that will do backtesting, but I have to get a hold of a friend to get the name. I can’t remember it.

That is strange.  I just wasted 3 hours today trying to get that thing to run.  I had to keep signing up for a new account, the StockFinder kept telling me I didn't have an account.  I wrote them and demanding a refund.  Even if the software is good, their customer service could use some serious help.  I'll be looking for something different, but thank you for your response.

Worden Brothers, StockFinder. Love it.

I am looking for a piece of software or on-line service where I can do two things:
1) Scan for gaps
2) Backtest trades based on gaps

Any suggestion?
