plier. The last issue is to input a starting NAV value for you simulated index. This value
isn't very critical because FastTrack and FastBreak work off changes in NAV not the ac-
tual value. However, if you build a simulated index fund that declines dramatically over
time then this value needs to be made large enough to prevent round off errors as the
NAV gets smaller. A good starting value is 100.
The last step is to click the Calculate button. The FNU file will be created and the data
will be loaded into the Data Screen.
The file produced by FastGraph will be perfectly correlated (correlation coefficient of
1.0) with the imported index. This usually isn't the case for the real index funds even
though this may be their stated goal. Also, the simulated fund will not be updated auto-
matically each day.
Again, be careful how you apply the results and let us know how we can make this a bet-
ter feature.
