I guess I'd have to use weekly data?
Topic: Visual backtest
Posted: Sunday, October 15, 2017 11:00:47 AM

I would like to visually backtest a market strategy by placing myself 10 years in the past and walking forward day by day. The process involves scanning end-of-day data for a cross above the 200-day simple moving average. 

-The universe is all US large cap stocks.

-An example of what I want: I set the Date to January 1st, 2000 and perform a scan for all US large cap stocks that closed above 200sma. I choose the stock I want to add to my portfolio and then move on to the next day and so forth.

-I do not want to see the subsequent data. When I scan for Jan 1st I do not want to see what happened after since it will bias me.

 

-Ideally I don’t even see the ticker symbols

Is this possible in Telechart?
