i did have some problems on one computer. i then tried it on my other computer and it worked so i didn't mess with it much more. Since this is a personal application and i'm not sure why they didn't just use Access or something similar as it would have been much less grief to set up.
I bought the software and the folks there (Jared) have been incredibly responsive to my needs so I want them to succeed but to be honest the product is a bit frustrating to use. Version 2 has crashed on me a number of times (mostly because I identified and loaded too many pears).
But i'm working through the issues and trying to stay with it as I think there is value in the product as evidenced by the results in this journal.

johnny,
Since the current markets remind me of November lows are you seeing somewhat similar behavior of your pairs? Say, are you more likely to pick low correlation stocks since they may 'snap back' like last time, and produce better returns? Are you eye balling your charts a little bit differently? Perhaps you consider going long 120% for some 'side trades'?
ps: were u able to backup your copy of the database and restore it latter? Doesn't seem to work for me....

Yes spreads are getting wider, I think now would be a good time to put on trades, I am expecting a technical rally soon in the averages however Im staying market neutral. I haven't had to backup & restore my database.
