P.S. When you're ready to take your trading to the next level, MabeKit is the key. Here's what one RealTest trader said about it:
"The MabeKit Column Library is absolutely essential for using RealTest. It has a dual purpose: it immediately provides columns whose predictive value the Cruncher can identify, and it also serves as inspiration for adding new columns. Practically speaking, without the column library, I wouldn’t be using RealTest."
