Hi All,
I'm a newbie here. First post, though I've been lurking for about a
month. Let me start by saying thanks for the high level of
discussion here and for what I've learned already.
My issue(s):
1: I am backtesting some ideas with the Explorer, EOD daily data.
In order to backtest the same exploration against, say, one month's
worth of data, I've been making multiple copies of the same
exploration with the only change being the exploration date and a
modification of the title to reflect the date. So, I have "System X
0205" to explore Feb 5, "System X 0206" to explore Feb 6, etc. To
explore one month of data, I have 20-22 seperate exploration copies
and then I run them all. This is labor intensive, slow and tedious,
as I usually scan about 7000 equities. I feel like I'm missing
something. Is there a way to streamline this?
2: When creating an exploration, are there certain functions which
bog things down in Metastock? Sometimes I write an exploration that
takes about 2 minutes to scan 7000 stocks (local data), and
sometimes as much as ten minutes. I suspect it may be something to
do with the Security fxn (calling an outside security) and/or Fml
fxn for a custom indicator, or something with the Ref fxn combined
with these two but I'm not sure. Do specifying variables slow things
down (ie, 'ST5:= Stoch(5,4)')?
Thanks for your help!
