A RealTest script is essentially a collection of user-defined formulas and settings values.
Some script sections, such as Import, Strategy, Settings, and related sections contain specifically-named items that you can provide formulas or values for. These sections do not allow user-defined item names.
RealTest supports user-defined item names only in the following sections: Charts, Data, Graphs, Library, Parameters, Results, Scan, StratData, TestData, TestScan, Trades
Parameters is a collection of named parameter value lists. All the others are collections of named formulas.
Item names must begin with a letter or underscore and may contain only letters, digits, periods and underscores.
Item names can be no more than 80 characters in length.
Item names are used to refer to that item (to get its current value) from other formulas.
Each user-defined item name must be unique across the entire script (including those that it includes), and must not be the name of any built-in variable or function.
Within the same section type, the same name can be used for more than one item. When this occurs, the last instance found is the only one that is kept. See Item Name Overrides for details about this.
