Lynn,
Sorry for the confusion. I should have explained a bit.
In the system tester our only options are to write conditions such as
K% > 40. This would generate a list of stocks which fit this
criteria.
In the exploration there are columns. Since you already have a list
of stocks, run an exploration on them using the criteria from the
system tester.
What's strange about the problem is that the K% value of less than 40
should have never triggered a signal. In your case though it did. I
am wondering if you simply changed the periodicity of the chart but
are using daily data. If this is the case and you really want a
weekly system test you will need to rewrite your formulas to
weekly...reads last last day of the week only.
