Hey Chris, There is a much more concise version of my questions that has been sitting in your other Forum "Edgerater Scripting" for the better part of 2 weeks now, along with other questions. Perhaps it would be easier for you to answer those questions, as creating that video on Jing would...

Hey Chris, That solved it! Now for the problem I was expecting to run into: I thought I'd combine the list output capability that you added to the Entries and Exits in the latest July Template with the external data field retrieval that you described in your latest blog post in a multiple column ret...

Chris, I was going to try out this new backtesting capability so I started out with a blank new script window and copied and pasted this from your blog: myVal:= WB_SYMBOL_LOOKUP(‘C:\\myData\Top50GIR.xlsx’, ‘Values’); cond1:= myVal == 1; cond2:= COUNT(cond1, 80) >= 20; event: cond1 & cond2; and w...

Chris, In the externally called spreadsheet do the stock names have to be in a column and the individual dates in a row, or can it be switched around? Do the data values in the externally called spreadsheet for the dates, have to be 1s and 0s, because they are only to be used in the variable data se...

Surprisingly, for MSFT from 1/1/00 to current, the POTBOT run showed that over 50% of the time in 4,140 events, MSFT will reach a favorable 4.5% gain in 21 trading days. I guess the next thing to check is...

Chris, 1. Could you add the stock name to the automatic generated report name so if we accidentally click the Save button instead of Save As we will at least know what stock the report is about? 2. Besides the basic functionality of those 2 new templates I really like the features of the "Choos...

Hey Chris,

I'll send you one of my timing list spreadsheets to your regular email, it has about 20 entry and exit dates for a triple leveraged ETF timing system that someone in my VV user group developed.

Henry,

Did you ever get a workaround for "PREV" ?

Thanks,
Ed S.

John, There is a possible workaround to using your own entry and exit dates in the Entries and Exit tab and then run a simulation; See my post in the "Add to Entries" message stream circa December 2014. You'll have to use Excel for the Date conversion and then paste into separate Entry and...
