Will version 17 allow you to step a condition or an easy scan back in time to do back testing

You can set something to be true x bars ago in an EasyScan Condition. You can create Condition Formulas with offsets and dates and use them in Custom PCF % True Indicators on the charts.

But no, there are not any built in back testing features in TC2000.

... and even if there were, having only 500 bars of data wouldn't be much of a sample size. Not a statistician, but that seems too small to give statistically significant results.

But hey, I'm just a fictional Monopoly mascot ... what do I know about statistics, or testing? ;)
