 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 .
