And with that... post #22, my friend Neutrino may now take his well earned trend following profits. Nice work (and a couple weeks early as well). Human behavior is rarely random. JB

Hey gang, Its the classic exchange wide backtesting problem...how can I get a historical list of the delisted stocks for both naz and nyse?. I'm looking back to early '90s. The list of current symbols of course is "winner filtered" and I need to ensure that this doesn't significantly...

I didn't see anyone being sarcastic, just two guys trying to save your a**. And yes, the "training" button is a great place to start. JB
