I'll give this one more try Scott.
Open the system tester.
Open the test sumary you want to look at and then open the test page
where the results for the individual stocks are shown.
Click on the symbol column and make sure they're sorted alphabetically
or if you only want the positive ones click on the %gain column and
sort that way.
Left Click on the first one. It will turn blue.
Hold down the shift key, scroll down to the last one you want to copy
and left click on it. Now you have the list blue
Right click on the blue somewhere. Then when the popup menu comes up,
select copy to clipboard.
Open Excel, select the upper most left cell, open the edit menu and
select paste.
Eliminate the columns you don't want. Keep the sympbol column and the
%gain column for my experiment.
To put the symbols in MS copy the symbol column by highlighting the
symbols only.
Open Word. Use the edit tab, select paste special, select unformatted
text, and paste the symbols in. You should have one long column and
that's all.
Use the replace function to replace all of the paragraph marks with
semicolon's.
Separate the big group of stocks into smaller sub groups.
Open the file tab in MS, select new, create your group for the
downloader and paste symbols into the new group.
For my experiment, run the systems test each year separately for ten
years.
Take each test, sort by symbol, paste the results into a worksheet.
Take each work sheet and copy the symbol and it's %gain data into a
new single worksheet.
Now you can compare each symbol year by year to see how many times out
of ten years that symbol showed a profit. You can eliminate all of the
symbols that had the majority of the ten year period negative and keep
the positive ones.
Then you simply run your system everyday and make millions.
All of these steps work. If you can't make them work on your machine
call tech support. It's free.
