Another question I had was whether we would have custom formulas output in the backtest results.  For instance, can I see the RSI for each trigger?  I would like to look at the losers and see if I can identify similarities between them.

If there are three consecutive closes above the 65 SMA, then buy.  If there are three consecutive closes below the 65 SMA then sell.  Any thoughts on how to do it?
