Marco

For the editing of criteria inputs (rules) could you add the feature that would allow the user to create remarks or comments. Say by using French Braces “{ }”. This would be a great addition and allow for the remarking out of a rule while backtesting.love struck

Thank You

OK, if I understand this, you could write things like:

Close(0) > 4 {& AvgVol(20) > 80000 eliminate vol criteria}

And then re-activate the volume criteria like this:

Close(0) > 4 & AvgVol(20) > 80000 {do not eliminate vol criteria}

Here's one way to do this without the comments feature:

Enable volume restriction
Close(0) > 4 And (AvgVol(20) > 80000 And 1)

Disable volume restriction
Close(0) > 4 And (AvgVol(20) > 80000 And 0)

The logic is wrong, it should have been:

Enable volume restriction
Price > 4 And (AvgVol(20) > 80000 Or 0)

The "Or 0" has no effect and the resulting formula is equivalent to "Price > 4 And AvgVol(20) "

Disable volume restriction
Price > 4 And (AvgVol(20) > 80000 Or 1)

The "Or 1" makes the formula equivalent to "Price>4 And 1" which is equivalent to "Price>4"

It's meant as a way to enable or disable a portion of the formula by simply changing a 1 to a 0 and vice-versa, but I manage to mess it up and confuse everybody. Looks like Capnpaul suggestion is the winner applause
