"I'm a short term position trader so I don't worry about using intra-day real time data in my testing." No, not the intra-day data in testing, just in monitoring throughout the day. My point was that if one can't tell the end-of-day program (MSWin) what the exit strategy is (in terms of end-of-day criteria -- because one just monitors throughout the day, and sells based on that monitoring), then one can't really do back-testing on that system. But assuming that back-testing is so desirable, what is one to do in the above scenario? Thanks, Nicholas P.S. -- That's enough for me for the day.
