(not .xlsm). Also make sure that after downloading data, you have received valid data from yahoo. If the data is ok, run the backtest.

I recently realized that the method I used to autoscale the chart only works for 2003 and above. You should be be getting a different value like you are because you are downloading newer data. If you can confirm your excel version, I will look into making a change. Thanks Hi, sean, I think you must be using excel 2000?.

If I open the program as you had it, then hit the down load data. Then hit the back test button I get a value of 6884.31. SHould I be getting the 7144.62 that you already had? 2.) If I open the program and change the symbol to say "SWHC" hit hte down load and then backtest. I get a result of 7180.3. The result doesn't matter, but if I try to view the graph the bottom format is all screwed up? Any suggestions or am I doing something wrong? Looking forward to using this Sean Tried the program and have a couple of questions.

Since I am not a OO user, my files are not tested to run with Open office and would need to be converted or rewritten to be 100% compatible with Open Office.

It needs to be stockbacktest.xls. Abdoulaye,
