  Good morning everyone

  Is there a way to backtest a Proscreener algo in a specific time slot?

  I’m looking for rare patterns and want to learn about movements following.

  Apreciate

  Topic moved from german to english proscreener support forum.

  ProScreener is not your best friend to make backtest of your patterns because it “only” has 254 bars of lookback history. I think the best idea would be to make an indicator that plot ‘signals’ where the patterns are found and study the market behavior following them with your own eyes. Another way would be to include this signal indicator into a trading strategy with probacktest, depends of course of how you’d like to trade these patterns and what you expect from your study.

  Thanks for clarification I will use an indicator for research.

  Once met matching screeners it would be helpful if it would be possible to use several screeners simultaneously.
