Does SC have a feature where I could test a simple idea in an equity such as "How often does a day close up after and the previous day closed up"

You reference backtesting, which we have for trading systems. Refer to the following: Auto Trade System Back Testing And there is also the replay mode. Refer to the following: Replaying Charts But, for what you ask - "How often does a day close up after the the previous day closed up", you would not use those features. Rather, you should use the Color Bar Based on Alert Condition study, and put the condition into your alert which would look something like "=AND(C[-1] > O[-1], C > O)" assuming you are using daily bars. Refer to the following: Color Bar Based on Alert Condition The Color Bar Based on Alert Condition also has a "Count of Alerts" subgraph that would tell you how many times your alert would be true. An easy way to see that number would be to use the Text Display for Study and reference the subgraph that holds the number of alerts. There is information on the subgraph in the Above documentation for Color Bar Based on Alert Condition. Refer to the following for the "Text Display for Study": Text Display For Study For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

User969241) There is a study for that on my forum (free of charge), if you are registered, look at the description of the Free 2019 library, I will insert a collection for basic tests for charts and colorbars ...

Can you tell me how to export the backtest information into excel instead of doc?
