 I keep getting no trades when I backtest this filter with various symbols. Note this one used SPY. This was taken from a post by Kevin in GA with some modifications posted by Drew9. Any help will be appreciated.
 
 Enable Filter Categories ·  Global Filter Off  (help?) ·  Back to My Filters
 Filter Name:
 
 apply to symlist(spy)
 close above MA(100)
 average volume(50) above 100000
 close below close 1 day ago
 RSI(2) 1 day ago below 2
 
 draw RSI(2) line at 75
 
 add column RSI(2) {RSI(2)}
 sort on column 5 ascending

 The filter works fine - SPY simply is not matching your filter criteria.
 
 Remove the symlist line and you'll see that the syntax is fine.  Also, running Debug on it shows no errors.

 Thanks to both of you. I thought I had done something wrong. I would have bet good money that SPY would have returned some hits but I see I was wrong.
 
 What I am trying to do is backtest symbol by symbol to identify the high performers. I believe this was suggested by Bartunes1 or Drew9. Its great to have the benefit of your experience.
