Backtesting on multiple symbols

[amouseos]

Hi all,

I return every few months to ask the question: is eSignal considering to offer a backtesting functionality where you can test multiple symbols in one go?
It's amazing how much time I 'waste' by running one symbol at a time..

Thanks a lot

I need the same feature - currently I had to develop a custom script to batch backtest multiple symbols.

Just to let you know of my solution - I moved to the Multicharts platform (I actually jumped from esignal to Tradestation for portfolio backtesting, but it was still very slow, so now to Multicharts) and I am very happy indeed.

If I can help you with anything else, give me a shout.
