I appreciate your offer to help, it might be easier if you were to have a play with the included Dow data and see how you go. Cheers,

I think it is a fairly standard data file, downloaded from Metatrader 4 and added as per the instructions on this site. 

Footon, you are correct, I am not getting any profitable strategies, and the generator can keep running till the cows come home, nada. It is getting a tad frustrating.

You have to add the symbol via Edit Instruments dialog form in order to see it in the drop-down menu.

I have tried to apply this fantastic software to the Dow index data supplied in the default data of FSB, and also downloaded some S&P 500 data to try and develop a few strategies for the indexes, but have had suprisingly little (i.e. next to none) luck. Anybody had better experiences?
