Strategy backtesting on a custom list of stocks
The service provides you the ability to create a custom list of stocks and to backtest your trading strategy on stocks
from this list only. To do this, create the list using the Watch List tool,
and use it as a stock universe in criteria for opening a position in the
Strategy Backtest tool:
If you have built some of your screens to run on a watch list
you may want to use the Extract criteria from screen option.
In this case, the backtester will extract all criteria from the screen including stock universe criteria and
run on stocks specified in the screen's watch list.
