Ed, Thanks. For those who intend to write their own backtesters, I *really* recommend Powerbasic.

Agreed - a difficult one. Posting our experiences with execution speed would be a good start - maybe another thread??? I have found Interactive Brokers to be a little slow at times - using their API trading. Sometimes 10-15 secs for the order request to go through. However, I'm fairly new to trading...
