Ahh, Thank you Terry, After working my way through Custom Backtester I realized that that wouldn't do it. My next avenue of research was going to be intraday data and/or Amibroker Pro.
I will have to get intraday data. I read a thread on picking it up from my Fidelity feed. Or IB seems like the next choice.
