Richard, Re: back testing
I have been using the For-Next loop function to do back testing. In the following example the starting date of the loop must be (-2) to give be able to print the activity for the two days following the 'hit' day. The help files give an example of using the For-Nest and you just need to experiment with it.
Output "Atest-A"; // Output file
input"IssueLst.lst"; // Input file if used
IssueType Common; // Only common issues
Exchange=NYSE,AMEX,NASDAQ; // only exchanges
integer i; // define integer for loop
For i = -2 to -69 step -1// set up loop period
Do // Do the loop
If // Conditions to scan for
Close(i)>1.99 and
Close(i)75000 and
Vol(i)>Vol(i-1) and
Vol(i-1)100000 and
Then
//print the info for the two days following the 'hit'
Print Symbol: -7,Date(i):12;
Print Open(i):7:3,High(i):7:3,Low(i):7:3,Close(i):7:3,Vol(i):7;
Print Open(i+1):7:3,High(i+1):7:3,Low(i+1):7:3,Close(i+1):7:3;
Print Open(i+2):7:3,High(i+2):7:3,Low(i+2):7:3,Close(i+2):7:3;
PrintLn;
endif;// end of conditions
//loop to next day
next i;
Good Luck and
Happy Trading

EDIT; I see in later posts you were helped by others as well, again Good Luck |
