What I mean is, how can I backtest a specific study over multiple symbols instantaneously. In other words, with the click of a button, a specific strategy will run as a backtest through a whole list of symbols?
Yes. Use this command:
Trade Menu: AutoTrade System Bar Based Backtest with Scan (Trade menu)

But it is not going to be instantaneous. This is an impossibility.


Actually no. Lets assume I have already backtested and now I want my 'spreadsheet system / alert' study to give me alerts by monitoring a list of symbols continually (quote board I guess?).
You need a chart open for each symbol with the trading system on each of those charts.
