Debugging: Debugging Trading Systems and Verifying Results
This video was made independently of the rest of this backtesting series, but is a good complement to the videos above. It goes through the complete development of another system and focuses on various ways to debug systems and verify results.

Experience Level - Novice This video discusses function tokens including MAX, MIN, SMAX, SMIN, ABS, STD, and more. These functions perform statistical calculations on other expressions.
Experience Level - Novice This video describes how to combine RTL tokens to form syntax. Several examples of syntax are provided for both custom indicators and signals. This video also explains how to edit technical indicator token preferences within saved RTL objects.

The Signal Marker Indicator is the vehicle used to mark bars or candles when a signal is true. The Signal Marker Preferences control the look of the signal on each bar within the chart. The preferences also control what actions occur when the signal is true for the current bar, including options such as playing a sound, opening a message box, or even sending an email.
Experience Level - Novice This video covers the preference window for Custom Indicators and details the options available with respect to how the custom indicator is displayed within a chart.
Experience Level - Novice This video explains how to manage custom indicators and signals: creating, saving, sending to chart, editing, and deleting.
Experience Level - Novice This video discusses the differences between custom indicators, signals, and scans and details the format of data that results from each type.
