 Is there a way of including external daily price data in a SF backtest?  I would like to include data for multiple symbols, e.g. for de-listed stocks.  Thanks in advance.

 The techniques demonstrated in the Market Date Reader Overview and RealCode File Reader Overview videos allow you to display external data in StockFinder. I can't think of a way to use these techniques to allow you to included de-listed symbols in a StockFinder BackScan however because the BackScan is going to be setup to use the symbols in a specific Watchlist (which can only contain symbols that are currently part of a StockFinder data set).
