< That certainly seems more reasonable. But... what if a trader had an exit strategy that required just real-time intra-day monitoring, and thus couldn't plug the exits into the back-testing program? >

An exit strategy can be triggered by any number of criteria and when those criteria are hit then one exits if they are using a mechanized system. It depends on YOUR exit criteria. If you said exit at a maximum 8% loss or 10% gain then you exit when either is triggered which you can monitor in real time. I'm a short term position trader so I don't worry about using intra-day real time data in my testing, end of day data, with open, high, low and close is more than adequate.
