Kevin or Others
The signal results will only go back 1 year. However, I also included the Multisystem, which can be run over any period for which you have historical data. Run it and then run a Detailed Analysis on the result. Within the Detailed Analysis is a separate tab for all trades taken during that period.
What are the steps for running the Multisystem? Do I first go into Multisystem Setup and change Maximum Open Positions Per System from 0 to 10? Do I leave Allow Multiple Purchases of Symbols Across Systems Checked? After this do I click on Run/Multisystem with the XIV Sector checked?
Where do I set the run dates?
Thanks Dave!

Been having some issues downloading the data tonight as well - went back to the tried and true ACSII data import of the .csv file for XIV.
Here are the signals for tonight that I got. Please let me know if anyone else is getting different results.

This is what I tried to do years ago(buy&sell units multidirectional using an ETF) but didn't have the tech savvy to accomplish it. As for me, I like my system but this could help out in a non bull market. In a bull market, anything will work.
Since so many are having trouble with the technical side, maybe you can put all on an auto mailing list, or better yet, get back on C2, charge everyone $20 a month which C2 allows you to lock in, which would give you a nice base, then you can charge the rest $149 You'd prob. Make $25k side money. The only problem is, no one has ever been able to master a bear market at C2. Anyone who can actually do that could make as much as 100k there and rule the site. Or the other option is for someone to convert as many as is feasible to SF.

That is correct, Kevin. I'm also getting the same result.
I did not do ASCII import, but manually appended today's price (Setups->Price and Symbol Setups.. and then updating for XIV). Had to also rebuild sector indexes (File->Rebuild Sector Indexes ) after manual insertion.
Question - Is it sufficient to update only XIV price data, or is there a need to update other indexes as well ? Does any of the 30 strategies rely on index data (e.g. ^DJI or ^SPX) ?

Kevin and others, how do you use the ASCII method of downloading? I have download the data for XIV from yahoo, and got a .csv file (opens with Excel) on my desktop. What do I have to fill out on the SS import form? I am an older guy without much tech knowledge. Thanks.

Yahoo now seems to be working again without any program crashes. That is very good news. I am now getting a crash every single time I try to import using Google Finance.

I used Yahoo last night. However, Yahoo is slower. I'm showing the same signals. Thanks!

Question - Pre-market price for XIV these morning shows a gap up at 119.85 up 1.46 % from yesterday's close. What is the best way to play this to get a better price?
