I'm trying to use the backscan feature, not backtest.
|
This may be a relatively simple question but I'm having trouble with it.
I'm trying to backtest indicators on different time frames. Lets use the MACD or Stochastics as an example. Everytime the Stochastics or MACD does a bullish cross up I want it to be tracked. I can set trade rules as needed to determine the best result. Do I need to change any coding to view this on a monthly or 30min chart?
Thanks

The previous close. If 11/16/12 was an inside day to 11/9/12 (weekly chart) I would want the 11/16/12 bar to be above last weeks close.

Hi Bruce, thanks for the reply.
I have the scan in place on TC2000 - I do have platnium. I'm looking to input it into stockfinder so I can back test the theory. I'm unfamaliar with the stockfinder coding so any help would be appreciated.

Julia,
To add to this discussion. I'm scanning for inside bars using this code: If Price.Low < Price.Low(1) And Price.Low(2) < Price.Low(1) And Price.High(1) < Price.High(2) Then pass
I would like to add a condition that stock must be positive (or negative) on all time frames (daily,weekly,monthly) in order to be included in the backtest. Ideally I can run this scan on daily or intraday timeframes.
How could this be done?
Thanks,
Josh
