Is it possible to modify a variable somewhere in config files or whatever, so that a tech scan will focus on a date prior to the last downloaded bar? I don't want to have to modify the formulae. Thanks | ||

1. Close OmniTrader and Browse to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Nirvana Systems. For Vista users it will be in the C:\Users\Public\Nirvana Systems folder. 2. Open the Nirvana.ini file. 3. Add a line just below [OmniScan] that reads NumBarsCached=500 The file will look similar to this: [OmniData] MaintenanceTimeouts=0 EasyToUser=True LastAdminMsgId=4 LastAdminMsgDate=09/21/2006 00:00:00 Path=C:\Program Files\Nirvana\OmniData [OmniScan] NumBarsCached=500 4. Click Save and close the file. 5. Open OmniTrader and run your To Do List with Download OmniData and Update OmniScan checked. Note: It may take longer than usual since more data is being cached. 6. The technical criteria in your scan will also need to be edited. So while a current scan may look liks this... MA_XOCOUNT(14,100) <= 60 a historical scan would like this: MA_XOCOUNT(14,100)[250] <= 60 | ||

Yep I know about that. I'm asking about something different. I want to be able to "set" OT so that OmniScan Technical filters (for that session) treats a PRIOR date as if it was the CURRENT date. That is, if the most current download is 12/22/08, I want to be able to set OS Tech filters to work on, say, 12/05/08 data. Is there a way to set a pointer to do this? | ||

1. Will this prevent all formulae / indic's from "seeing" any info at all about following days? 2. Is this bar treated as HRE re tradeplan/chevron/voteline etc? 3. Does an OP "true walkfwd" run utilize this instead of or in addition to the system clockv Thanks! | ||

2. Yes, it should. 3. Maybe, Matt is checking. | ||

It shore wud bee nise to get that feature request into the loop. One of the reasons I've avoided wf testing is I'm wary of the kludge to the system clock. Seems like other stuff might be messed up by that. Have you had any problems reported, at all, re the sysclock-reset process? | ||

Originally written by Barry Cohen on 12/24/2008 1:34 AM Yes, you can do that. In your ToDo List/Test Settings tab enable the Always Use this Date option & set the date to the current date that you would like to use. Then just rerun your ToDo List to update your scans. Barry, The setting "Always use this date" doesn't seems to have any effect on OT and OmniScan analysis results. They always correspond to the current date.
