Topic: Russell 1000 component list for past years
Posted: Saturday, November 1, 2014 10:54:13 AM

I'm trying to do some back-testing and am looking for a data source that would give me the component list for the Russell 1000 for the past 10 or more years.  Any and all leads will be greatly appreciated.

Topic: Historical A/D Volume Data
Posted: Thursday, April 29, 2010 7:27:34 AM
I'm trying to do some long-term historical testing and have the following question on the A/D Volume Data.  Is this indicator calculated based on the current composition of the "list" of securities or does SF (or TC) have actual A/D volume data for say the SP100 (list) that goes back to the 1960's, which was calculated at any given time using the then current composition of the SP100 (list)?  Thanks.

Thanks for your responses.  If I read this external data in and am able to plot it, will I be able to use it in backtesting?

I'd like to know if there is a way to import external price data for securities which have been delisted.  One data vendor offers these in Metastock format, so I'd like to know if its possible to convert and use these data. Thanks.
Topic: How to create a conditon for "Ranks in top 0.1%"

I see that's the case in the SF canned ranking function.  My question is...is there another way to do it...eg with custom Realcode?
Topic: Backscanner in V5

OK...the backscanner works fine with other conditions...the issue seems to be my ranking condition which worked fine in SF4, doesn't workin SF5.  Can you please help with the differences between the two versions?  Thanks,

I just opened V5, which I downloaded a couple of months ago, and tried running the backscanner on an old chart and set of conditions and ....game me nothing...no trades.  I checked everything I could think of and tried recreating the conditions in V5 since they were originally created in V4 and still nothing...no trades.  What am I missing or what should I try next?

I find the ability to rank watchlists based on the value of (custom) indicators very useful, but would like to be able to get at the stocks which are not just in the top 1%, but some smaller fraction of that, say the top 0.1%.  Any suggestions for how this might be accomplished?  Is there a way to create a realcode condition that helps me do this?  Thanks in advance.
Topic: including external data in backtesting
Posted: Tuesday, October 20, 2009 10:44:59 AM
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.
