Hi Wolf

Wow that sounds like a very broad question.

First, re dates - buy and hold uses one date, not two. My guess is that you are asking about buying on one date and selling on the second date - but since the dates are only a month or two apart, that doesn't sound like buy&hold at all. Clarification is needed please.

Your mention of "usually provided" charts and portfolio sim settings is sort of impossible since I doubt there are more than 30% of the possible chart and PS settings that ARE held constant, amongst the thousands of presentations made by N in marketing and training venues.

If you're trying to duplicate the chart or results table from a particular brochure, good luck. N does not habitually document all the settings (to be fair, it would be a real pain to do so since the list would be very long). Upon rare occasions, they might provide a preset package of profile and templates and strats etc etc so you can see where the brochure info came from - but usually they don't.
