Is there a way to scan a universe of stocks for certain entry signals and once that signal is found to trade all those stocks that are found? Would love to see you do a video on searching for stocks that meet certain criteria and then trade it.

I notice you just plot the total return. But how to plot the drawdown, sharpe ratio, alpha, beta, anual return etc.? These are also important.

Has anyone tried to run this golden_cross strategy against BTC? I fed it data and it executed trades just fine, just like SPY, on the buy_hold strat. But when I run it on the golden_cross strat, it shows the same amount before and after trades on the generated plot.

[@chrisbearden1331]

in case this helps someone else, cerebro is running just fine against BTC. it's the plot that has the same value (ending) for both the start and the end values at the top of the screen. I was confused because I was looking at that value wrong, when compared to the buy_hold plot.
