Hi,

Crazy idea. Is there any way to reset the data to a past date, say 12/31/04? I am backtesting several candle pcfs and it would be great if, say, if C equaled 12/31/04 instead of having to write the pcf as C592 or C཈/31/04'. As you can imagine, to backtest the next day, 1/3/05, I would have to rewrite each pcf. By resetting the data, I could simply update my data to the next day, which would be 1/3/05, and my pcfs would update as well. Thanks.

I am not aware of any method for doing this. You could create your Personal Criteria Formulas as Custom Indicators and/or Custom Percent True Indicators in the top section of the chart and use the Data Box in Pointer Mode (select the Period Key (.) twice) to view the values however. You may wish to review the following:

Plotting Custom Indicators with Examples
Visually Backtesting Specific Symbols
Customize the Data Bar to display selected data points
