Could work fairly easy in 9.0 pro I would think. Imputs would be: stock, duration, and time interval. Program would copy the "stock" data into a temp area and, per the "duration"..... feed the stock data every "time interval". Example: Stock=IBM, duration=daily,time interval=5 seconds. The window would load enough data to get the indicators working, then every 5 seconds a daily (H,L,C) would be written to the screen. User imputs: "B" key=buy signal;"S"key=sell signal, user hits the "B" and "S" keys to buy and sell the stock as the "days" go by per their indicators putting up/down arrows per the position taken. Summary window: would cumulate profit/loss, open equity, #trades, etc, etc. Could be used to learn to day trade and to get used to new signals, using indicators in real time, test pitfalls in indicators, etc. To make it more complicated you could pit yourself against an indicator in the summary window. Piece of cake, right?

That's what I was thinking. You can get a feel for it by moving the scroll bar on the bottom and mentally taking the positions, harder than it looks without viewing the overall picture. They may be wanting to concentrate on the system tester would be my guess.

You would definitely want to choose the stock. The big plus you mentioned is getting your emotions involved and learning to control.... then if you can't take the next steps through creating a function/expert.. you get someone like Jose or the metastock gang involved. I would buy it as a add-on.......ummm, wonder how powerful their developers package is and if they would let me "lift" some of their existing code?
