Brooke,
Only way I know how to write a backtest is with a builtin variable
that you edit by hand [or via a bat file].
E.g. would write Richard's BBB scan as
[edit] see you posted after I started ;)
-------------------
input = "mycriteria.lst"; //
output = "bbb.LST";
integer now;
now:= 0; // Set to neg # to backtest
// could also use now in a for loop for a multiple-period backtest
if Close(now)-Close(now -5)>.05*Close(now -5) and
Vol(now) > MovAvg(now,63,vol) and
Close(now)>.85*Max(now,now -250,cl) then
println symbol,",",date(0),",",close(0),",",vol(0),","
if now != 0 then
print date(now),",",close(now),",",close(0 - close(now),",",
println,Description:25;
endif;
