Hi Steve, After you download historical prices, changing any of the parameters, such as resistances or minimums, will affect all the past trades. In fact, changing anything will alter the previous trades when back-testing. Once the data has been retrieved, you can 'simulate' to your hearts content by changing around all the values and seeing the effects on the trades. It just loads-up the default values at the beginning each time you download a new price history. The way to 'lock-in' trades so they aren't altered is to enter them in the Actual Market Order column on the Trade History page. This is a must if using 'real-life' situations. Hope this is clear enough. Looking forward to the show. Best Wishes, Bill
