Is it possible to sort a watch list based on data from the past?
I am wanting to do some backtesting, so for example I would like to sort (or flag) a watch list for an event that happened in the past, such as a MACD crossover that happened in the second week of January (for example).

Is that possible in either version of TC2000 (v7 or v12.3)?

There's not really an efficient way of scanning for MACD crossovers that happened in the past in TC2000.

If you know how many bars ago you want to check for something happening, you can add a 1-Period Simple Moving Average to the indicator in question and set the Offset of the moving average to the desired number of bars ago. You can then click on the moving average instead of the indicator and select Create Scan Condition to create the desired Condition.
