hi, i have few stocks i want to run backtesting on multiple time frames and few strategies too
1- is it possible to download , save the historical data in order to use for backtesting? and to download all in one go? because it is taking so much time
2- is it possible to autorun one strategy , at a time, for all the saved historical data of these stocks, then save the outcome in excel win rate and profit multiplier?
please advise on above, else the most common - best practise to save time
Many thanks,

1. Yes. Are you referring to Intraday charts or Historical Daily charts?

2. Once you run a back test, the trading activity is automatically saved and can be viewed at any time. You can export it:
Trade Activity Log: Importing and Exporting Data

And you can change the trade account and run another back test and then keep the original results:
Auto Trade System Back Testing: Running Multiple Back Tests For Comparisons

What does the 128 refer to? This is not clear for us. When you say "condition", this is still just not clear for us.
