Hi,
Thanks, Russ. I should have included that information in my original post.
My beancounter is setup for use with GT and it's currently working with
other scripts, such as display_signals.pl and graphic.pl.
Also, my GT subversion checkout is recent: 2008-04-26 is when I updated GT.
It appears I'm only having issues with backtest.pl and backtest_multi.pl.
Here's my beancounter testing:
$ beancounter quote ibm

And a test of GT using my beancounter DB data:
$ ./display_signal.pl --start=2008-04-01 --end=2008-04-07 S:I:RSIDown IBM
Testing signal RSIDown[70, 14] ...
RSIDown[70, 14] [2008-04-01] = no
RSIDown[70, 14] [2008-04-02] = no
RSIDown[70, 14] [2008-04-03] = no
RSIDown[70, 14] [2008-04-04] = no
RSIDown[70, 14] [2008-04-07] = no
Thanks,

my config differs as follows:
i) using older version of backtest (without the recent flurry of weigert upgrades
as they are coming too fast and furious for me to properly evaluate/integrate)
ii) using postgresql beancounter
your original command line failed
ras [ 14472 ] % ./backtest.pl "Systems:ADX 30 | TradeFilters:FollowTrend | MoneyManagement:Basic" GOOG ./backtest.pl: error: Alias `Systems:ADX 30 | TradeFilters:FollowTrend | MoneyManagement:Basic' wasn't found in options file!
key looked for was "Aliases::Global::Systems:ADX 30 | TradeFilters:FollowTrend | MoneyManagement:Basic"
so i changed to a bit to look more like one of the perldoc -t ./backtest.pl examples:
./backtest.pl --graph="graphs/btest.png" --display-trades --start "2007-04-16" --end 2008-04-28 --close-strategy="Stop::Fixed 6" --trade-filter="FollowTrend 50" --money-management="Basic" --system="ADX 30" GOOG

your ibm signal matches mine (also older version of display_signal.pl)

also note that my config does not include most of the recent script or the gt
package file changes.
you seem to be loosing your database connection as you indicate in your initial post:
--------------------------
DBD::mysql::st execute failed: MySQL server has gone away at ../GT/DB/
bean.pm line 161.
MySQL server has gone away at ../GT/DB/
bean.pm line 161.
i'd start looking at an extra (extraneous or out of order) $db->disconnect statement.
i noticed that many of the script changes (re)moved these into gt package files.
is GT/DB/bean.pm a recently changed package file?
