Charts: Backtesting capability and examples


Q:  I have looking at your software and I have a few questions that I would like an answer to before I go ahead and lease.
1) I use IB, how much intraday data can I get on ES?

A:  Around 4 months of data.  For example, I erased my ES #F   5-min chart and refreshed Maximum and received 3800+ day session only bars with the earliest bar being on March 20th, 2006 and today is  July 6th, 2006.

Q:  2) What type of backtesting features do you have on your software?

A:  We have a programming language called ESPL that some use to implement their proprietary systems and obtain backtesting results.   Others use our powerful Design Your Own DYO and Alert Objects to implement their systems and show backtest results.  The Alert Object has selections for implementing trade actions of  Buy, Sell, Out, Reverse if Long, etc.  The details show on a Trade Report.   See these web pages for examples and more information on each.
