I have a condition that uses todays closing price and compares that to other closing prices 10 days ago, 34 days ago, etc. I then use this data to create a filter. However, if I want to run this condition over a previous time period, how can this be done without editing the condition. For example, I want this condition for an earlier time period, that is not using todays closing price, but using the closing price from 2 weeks ago. I basically want to go back in time two weeks ago and run my condition. Is this possible?

In general, backtesting in StockFinder is provided by BackScanner. You would probably use your Condition as a Buy Condition and then Add Trade-Based Rule for a Sell Condition for a Trade Length Greater Than 0 Bars. This would Exit on the next Bar after Entry and allow you to identify all of the Entries.

You can wrtite the filter by using user specified variables
'# daysago = userinput. integer = 0
'# offset = userinput.integer = 34
if price.close(daysago) > price.close(daysago + offset) then
pass
end if
then just set daysago as desired. For 2 weeks ago use 10.
