Scans in RealTest allow you to display time-series data in tables with easily customizable content.
RealTest supports several types of scans:
•Data Scan - has access to OHLCV data and calculated Data Section arrays, runs separately from backtests
•Test Scan - same as Data Scan but runs during backtests and can therefore also access strategy and test information
•Test Scan Positions - same as Test Scan but loops over current positions rather than all symbols
•Multi-Filter Scan - all scan types support output of multiple rows per scan unit (symbol or position) by defining multiple filter formulas
To run any type of scan, you must first import or load a data file, then open or create a script that includes either a Scan section or one or more Strategy sections plus a TestScan section.
A Data Scan is run by pressing the "Scan" button in the toolbar.
A Test Scan is run by selecting "Scan" under Test Output and then pressing "Test" or "Orders".
The following topics provide more details about each type of scan.
