I am new to the program. I am only interested in cryptocurrency and am using the cryptocompare downloader from the forum. However, when I run the downloader, it checks against all 7000+ symbols in my database. How do keep it from reviewing each symbol

After you open the downloader and in the "Symbols" tab, you can add conditions to select only the securities you need.

thank you. that worked perfectly. however, I am missing the one major cryptocurrency - BTC. I added BTC_USD to my symbol list in the downloader but the data did not download. Also, I went to this link to learn how to debug the downloader: https://www.quantshare.com/how-431-how-to-debug-a-downloader - and when i ran the debugger, I can see that btc_usd is in the downloader but it doesn't appear to add BTC_USD when I add the symbol to my backtesting stimulator to backtest my trading strategy

okay. i looked again and I can chart btc_usd so that means it is definitely in my database but I can't seem to use it in my backtesting simulator. When I run it on btc_usd, there are no trades....the strategy I am using is a simple SMA crossover so there should be so trades

You can plot your buy and sell rules on a chart to see visually if they generate signals.
For that, just edit your chart formula (right click on it then select Edit formula) then type something like:
buy = your_rule;
plot(buy, "");
Also make sure you are referring exactly the same symbol in your trading system.
