I searched the forum and found as of this date there is no back testing except for visual "percent indicator". Seems like this is not such a major addition i.e a box setting the 'today's date' or looking at the system date and all programs would look at data as of that date and back. The reason I want to back test is I have an indicator that select all stocks that meet a condition. I'll buy the whole basket of 30 stocks for example and see if six months down the line I'm making any money on that basket.

I'm surprised that this is such technical difficulty as everything else on tc2000 looks pretty advance.

You can back-date the PCF to scan for the "signal" six months ago and give you the list of stocks that met that condition at that time.

Give me the PCF and I'll back-date it for you.

It's a good one to show you how to do this on your own...

Here is the original one: (you can get it by going to SORT BY and clicking the 'i'icon next to the criterion).

100*V/AVG100

Here it is for 10 days ago

100*V10/AVG100.10

Here it is for 200 days ago

100*V200/AVG100.200
