I am a user of pre-historic MetaStock 7.0. My old computer recently died and I replaced with a new one, and re-loaded MetaStock. I ran System Tester on old computer against a data file starting 01/2000 and got 72 trades starting 05/2004. When I ran the same system against the same data file on the new computer, I only got 26 trades starting in 5/2010. Obviously, there is somewhere to set the data range to be tested, but it has been too long on my previous computer and I can't find it. Can anyone help correct the problem??? John

The same dialogue box where you get to select the securities on which to run your test.
