 Is there a capability in Backscanner to simply copy a pcf criteria for the buy side into Backscanner and be able to backscan test it?

 No. StockFinder does not use TeleChart's Personal Criteria Formula Language.

When using Conditions as Buy Rules in BackScanner, you will also generally need to have Exit Rules of some Sort to create a complete strategy for backtesting (otherwise you will just stay in positions once entered).

 Is there an updated/overhaul release planned for Backscanner?  There are ongoing problems and inconsistencies with the SF 5.0 version and I would like to know if I should worry about them or wait for the overhaul.

Thanks,

Jeff

 BackScanner is scheduled for an overhaul. I do not have a timetable for exactly when this will happen however.
