"Maybe try Tools, Chart options and check Show holidays and weekends and see what happens..." What happens is you fixed my problem!! That's exactly what I was looking for, now the daily charts show blank spaces for weekends and no-trade days. Weekly chart's data window indicates last day of the week there's data for, then moves to following calendar week. Thanks very much for your help. David Raine Vancouver

Anyone know how to run a system test where it will only test a specified period instead of as far back as my data goes. I want to test a system in down trending markets on certain stocks but the stocks have generally gone up over the long term. I want to isolate the down periods so I can see how it performs there. Everytime I try to do so, it goes all the way back to the dinasaur age and runs the test from there. I know I could create a new chart with shortened time frames but I would rather be able to do so on the same charts I use to trade. TIA, Lee
