Historical tests

 

One of the powerful features of this program is the ability to run historical tests using various signals over the stock database, and to pick out signals that made money. One enters a signal from the signal list, selects a list of stocks by choosing the filter, and use run test. Stocks that passed the test get tagged. We can then view a chart of the stocks and see which days the signal was first made.
