Terry, Yes, it looks like a "minutes" type test, but actually was about 750 trades over 8 years with an average holding time of 6.6 days. another way to look at the math would be to simply do the compounding of 4% vs. 3.7% 240 times. (approximately the number of full turns I got with my stock

If you are trading a daily system and basing your entry on yesterday's OHLC then you can code your system to take the trade the NEXT day with your limits.
