 For our backtest we want to test the full history so we use:
 
-anashell> set full 1
+  anashell> set full 1
 
 And we add one more closing-strategy by using the following command:
 
-anashell> set +cs Stop::KeepRunUp 10
+  anashell> set +cs Stop::KeepRunUp 10
 
 (set cs[1] Xxxxx would have changed the second array element)
 After this we start the backtest...
 
-anashell> btest
-Tested ... ok in 104 seconds
+  anashell> btest
+  Tested ... ok in 104 seconds
 
 ...and view the result:
 
-anashell> report report_summary.ash 
+  anashell> report report_summary.ash 
 
 By using the HTML::Mason-framework you can generate every report you
 want...
 
 Now we can save the system to a directory
 
-anashell> save TEST /tmp
+  anashell> save TEST /tmp
+
 Saved TEST in /tmp...
 
 So that we can load it the next time we start a session:
 
-anashell> load TEST /tmp
-Loaded Portfolio TEST...
+  anashell> load TEST /tmp
+  Loaded Portfolio TEST...
 
 If we don't know the name of our system we can list all systems in the
 directory:
 
-anashell> list /tmp
- ==> SY:Generic {S:Generic:CrossOverUp {I:SMA 20 {I:Prices CLOSE}} {I:SMA
- 60 {I:Prices CLOSE}}} {S:Generic:CrossOverDown {I:SMA 20 {I:Prices

+   50|CS:OppositeSignal|CS:Stop:KeepRunUp 10
+        --> 13000
 
 Now let's do some analysis on the backtest:
 
 First I would like to know the costs for each trade
 
-anashell> calc_array {A:OpenDate} {A:Costs}
-Number  OpenDate[]      Costs[]
-  [  0]   1993-05-13    20.76
-  [  1]   1993-07-01    22.65
+  anashell> calc_array {A:OpenDate} {A:Costs}
+  Number  OpenDate[]      Costs[]
+    [  0]   1993-05-13    20.76
+    [  1]   1993-07-01    22.65
+
 [...]
-   [ 34]   2002-01-17    20.3
 
+    [ 34]   2002-01-17    20.3
+
 But we can also calculate the average cost of one trade:
 
-anashell> calc {A:Avg {A:Costs}}
-20.1568571428571
+  anashell> calc {A:Avg {A:Costs}}
+  20.1568571428571
 
 - you see it is the same as using an indicator...
 
 Now let's do some graphics (make sure you have R (www.r-project.org)
 installed):
 
-anashell> @gain = calc_array("{A:NetGain}")
-anashell> r_hist( \
AT
gain )
+  anashell> @gain = calc_array("{A:NetGain}")
+  anashell> r_hist( \
AT
gain )
 
 You can also have a look at the distribution of the gains over time:
 
-anashell> r_bar( \
AT
gain )
+  anashell> r_bar( \
AT
gain )
 
 Or we create a second array and see if there is a correlation between the
 Duration of a trade and its gain...
 
-anashell> @duration = calc_array("{A:Duration}")
-r_corr( \
AT
duration, \
AT
gain )
+  anashell> @duration = calc_array("{A:Duration}")
+  r_corr( \
AT
duration, \
AT
gain )
 
 Now let's leave the program and save the history for the next session:
 
-anashell> bye
-Exiting Olf's Analyzer...
-Save settings? [Y/n]: Y

 =head2 "Bad system call" failure on cygwin
 
 If you are using cygwin on Windows to run GT, and you encounter
 a "Bad system call" error when running scan.pl, you need to enable
 cygserver. cygserver is a utility that provides cygwin applications
 with persistent services. See 
+
   http://www.cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-cygserver.html
+
 for more detail. The first time you use cygserver, execute
+
   /usr/bin/cygserver-config
+
 to configure the service (there are many options but the above should
 suffice, see the manual for more). You can then invoke the service
 automatically through windows, or use
+
   net start cygserver
+
 to do so. You must also set the CYGWIN environment variable to 'server':
+
   CYGWIN=server
   export CYGWIN
