Stockbacktest.xls Update – Chart Scale

ExcelTrader — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 21:25:03 +0000

In the previous version of Stockbacktest.xls, running the download and backtest in Excel 2000 resulted in an improperly scaled chart. This problem has now been fixed.

The changes apply to Stock Backtest and data downloader.

* each time data was downloaded a new embedded connection was created. These were building up and resulted in security warning messages (in Excel 2007). All new connections are now removed immmediatly after data is downloaded.

*changed name from Stocksim.xls to Stockbacktest.xls since it’s not a simulator at all. It is just for backtesting.
