To Backtest (I hope this is your question):

Double-click on filter above, a new window will then open, click on "Backtest this filter";

Then, manipulate different choices on the "Summary - Filter - Basic - Exit - Indicators - Advanced" line to get the most from your filter. Then click and then .

I backtested it as a long filter, for the back dates of 123106 to present, with an exit stop loss of 1% (I know it is low) and a profit stop of 8%, with a max 25 day hold. Below are the results:

If you decide that you want to keep this as a filter, you need to copy and paste it from the backtesting section to a new filter.
