OPEN-SOURCE SCRIPT

How To Set Trade Dates

Updated

Example how to backtest specific date(s) which can be useful for testing seasonality strategy ideas such as "Sell in May", etc.

If using Daily period with wild card dates it will not trade on 1st day of month. If market is closed will trade on next open day.

Works only with Daily or lower timeframes. When using on Daily timeframe set dates 1 day earlier to execute on desired dates.

Entering 0 in any of the date fields acts a wild card. Example -> Entry Year: 0 is "Every Year", Exit Month: 0 is "Every Month", etc.
