Hi All! I am soooo lame, I know...but I can't backtest for crap and was wondering if someone with the skills might be willing to do a real simple thing for me? If so...please PM me.

THANKS!

Re: Backtest Request

What do you have in mind? Make it public, maybe we can all learn from the backtest.

Re: Backtest Request

OK I want to know how a breakout of the 30 minute opening range plays out on Corn, Wheat and Soybeans futures. Set it up like this...

Take the first 30 minutes and place a buy stop 2 ticks above the 30min hi and a sell stop 2 ticks below the 30min low. Set it up for 2 different exit scenarios. First try a 2 cent stop with a 3 cent target, and then also test out a 2 cent trailing stop.

I figure it's gotta be a pretty simple thing.
