This selection determines the stocks to which the test will be applied.
The first 3 choices determine any industry group restrictions. The next
menu will further allow selection of stocks within your industry group
restrictions. Choose 'Exclude certain industry groups' if you want to
include MOST groups and exclude only one or a few. Choose 'Include
only certain industry groups' if you want to include only one or a few
groups. Choose 'One Stock' to test your system on one stock only.
:2
This selection detrmines whether to test ALL stocks within your industry
group restrictions (if any) or to select a random subset. Choose 'Ran-
dom list' to test your system on a subset of stocks in your selected in-
dustry groups. This is very useful for quickly evaluating your system
for frequency of transactions, potential for profit, and whether your
account set-up values keep you 'in the market' a reasonable amount. You
will choose the number of stocks up to about 1/4 of the total within
your industry groups.
:3
This selection determines the time frame for the test. 'Use all weeks
except final year' is a shortcut for leaving the final year untested for
later validation. The third choice allows exact specification of the
time frame to the nearest month. You will be prompted for the year and
month to start and end.
