Back testing Software

[Gansoro]

I have several trading ideas/strategies that I would like to back test. However, I do not know what all of the choices in back testing software might be?

Does anyone know of any back testing software besides Trade Station? What are your recommendations? Is Trade Station the only option? Is Trade Station the best option? Any and all guidance in this area would be very helpful.

I use http://www.crontech.com/swp for backtesting. I usually test my strategies on all NASD stocks at once and then sort by profit, can't do this in Tradestation. I really like ability to use multiple timeframes in the strategy - they added this feature last week.
