Scan backtesting days ago....

Yes when running scans, using the starting date as days ago, this is trading days ago rather than calender days ago. Also note that this is trading days ago based on US trading days.

Not all continents have the same holidays so StockCharts had to pick one as a reference, USA, so you may have to adjust the days ago if you are looking for scans of Canadian or European stocks. In most cases this is not an issue but for a few particular holidays it will require an adjustment, ie we don't have universal holidays.

I don't work for Stockcharts, I'm just another user always trying to learn more and willing to share what I've already learned.
