Hello ggutierrez,

Formula studies that are back testing compatible have specific code that passes trade information to the Strategy Analyzer report. See Back Testing Operations. Third party studies like the Arps Crown Jewels are rarely coded for back testing. Your request would require some custom programming by Arps due to the protected nature of their code. You can contact them at [email protected].

Help with backtesting

Any help would be appreciated in backtesting a simple efs I use.

Simply a breakout of the Donchian channel and exit X ticks later.

I would like to be able to test different targets for exit.

Attached is the efs as I use it.
