I wonder if you have any pointers or guides that you can indicate me that a newbie like me can use to have ideas of the parameters usually used when doing backstating and that I can apply to my TS. (I know they have the backtesting feature the only thing missing is giving examples of the most common indicators used doing backtesting a stock for buying or short to get someone started.) Thanks for any assistance on this matter. Neo Dave,

Whereas the Motley Fool idea was fairly narrow in terms of its historical data set, a backtest that challenges the system by testing in non optimal conditions can provide valuable insight. I have a blog that highlights one such system, and your welcome to stop in a follow along. <a href="http://dayvejohnson.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">http://dayvejohnson.blogspot.com</a> Thanks for the great site.
