It's a huge, colossal, PITA, but for those few experts I've really needed to save (I find myself using QP2 more and more and MS less and less lately, but that's another story), I've done the manual method of cutting and pasting the *text* of the relevant expert subsections into a regular old text file and backing that up.

It's a equal PITA getting it back when needed, but it works. I need to keep the process simple.

I could rant ad infinitum about Equis' incredible stupidity about trying to hide things behind dat files rather than text files that *EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS*, but instead, I'll save everyone the anguish and...

Craig, and others, What realistically should be the goal in system testing? In other words, should we be attempting to build a system with a high 'Avg.Win/Avg.Loss' ratio, or a small number of 'Total Trades,' or high 'Profit/Loss Index,' 'Reward/Risk Index,' etc.?

What might be a realistic value for any of these to strive for before actually using the system to trade with?

Thanks a lot.
