big run, like Richard said... I like to throw a backtest engine on a scan and as I tweak it see if/how past results are affected, I can turn it on with a switch and use the same scan...very simple so far..%gain/ loss with 1,2,5,10 day results, for very short term trades... have not done any elaborate exits yet but I imagine I could with another forward loop that specifies exit parameters...
In MS one can only do 1 issue, but in Q+ you can call a prescan that has your specs on the type that you want to trade... ie specific float, price, vol, float turnover, QRS, blah blah
Q+ does not have global variables yet so getting % of hits I have to do in a spreadsheet with each hit outputting a 1 or 0 and those are complied...
Q+ is way too much fun, it is an awesome piece of code and customer support is great
