"Have you put that in a QP scan yet?" Yes, but it was confiscated by SEC officials -- or so I thought. They may have been impersonating SEC officials. (One looked remarkably like Gonzongo but wore an official SEC hat.) In any case, the scan may have caused anomalies in the quantum gravitational field (and, consequently, aged me a day for each day I looked forward in time). It was loosely based on this idea: close(10)>10*close(0). For the scan to work properly, it had to be run in an environment outside the conventional three-dimensional boundaries of space-time, in a fluid, turbulent, nonrenormalizable space (in my kitchen).

hi big run, as per discussion on BTA thread, Message 7887168 no big brains here,... pretty simple actually...here is a sample backtest engine, can use it for daily scan too by commenting out/in the switch, just change the params to your liking... note that the output cannot tell % winner/loosers so another variable could be setup to flag a 1 for winner and a 0 for loss, since Q+ cannot accumulate that data across issues you need to import that variable into a spreadsheet and do a calc and then you have that information.... see, nothing to it example output has ticker, date, buy price, sell price, % gain/loss and the qrs day of signal bsimpledog //backtest example output="backtest.lst"; //input="prescan.lst"; //input="common.lst"; daystoload=250; daysrequired=250; integer md1,mbtest,mstart,mstop; // remove the [//] coment markers to use as daily scan //mbtest:=0;//daily switch //mstart:=0; //mstop:=0; // comment out to use daily scan mbtest:=1; //backtest switch mstart:=-25; mstop:=-15; for md1 = mstart to mstop step 1 do //prescan req if emovavg(md1,21,vol)>25000 then if Sharesfloat < 20 then if close(md1) >= 1 then if close(md1)<=10 then //params if close(md1)>open(md1) then if vol(md1)> vol(md1-1) then if qrs(md1) > 85 then if close(md1) > movavg(md1,200,cl)then if movavg(md1,200,cl) > movavg(md1-10,200,cl) then set stochastic = 13,3,8; if stochasticPctK(md1)<30 then //backtest output //buy @ open next day, sell @ open in 13 days after if mbtest =1 then println symbol:-8,date(md1+1):10,open(md1+1):8:3,open(md1+14):8:3, (open(md1+14)-open(md1+1))/open(md1+1):8:2,"day b4 qrs=":15,qrs(md1); endif; //daily scan if mbtest =0 then println symbol:-8,close(md1); endif; endif;endif;endif;endif;endif; endif;endif;endif;endif;endif; next md1;
