Viewing Past Scan Results

[Variety_Jones]

Hello,

Does anyone know a way to backtest a scanner and view any time the scan criteria was met in, say, the past week?

Thx

You can use the within bar option while setting up your scanner.

Within 1 bar on the daily chart means the current bar. 2 days = current day and the previous day.

The way I make sure a scan works is to write it as a study and verify output on the chart. You'll know very quickly whether your scan matches your chart. Pay attention to the aggregation - it needs to be the same on the chart as well as on the scanner.
