  Hi All,
 
 How are you back testing Histogram Magic.  I tested it 11/2/2005 - 5/18/2006 (a good trading window for me this year) and Histogram Magic didn't do as well.  I was using a 20%G and 10%L sell criteria.
 Does anyone have any suggestions or do we need to cherry pick the stocks from the list?
 
 Thank you,
 R.

  Riggs - 
 If you're trading 3-5 days you should be able to back test using StockFetcher because it allows you to setup your exit using any method you would like to use.
 
 I guess I'm curious what you use as your exit criteria.  Do you just wait for 3 days and sell or do you have a profit target?
 
 Thank you,
 CDV  - Renn
