Tried to use the search but I guess I didnt use the correct keyword because I am certain this have been asked before! :)

I want to do exploration that calculates correlation between index and stocks using historical timeperiod. I mean I can do the correlation exploration clicking index and then Correl(P,C,250,0). This works fine but now it is using the LATEST 250 days in my database. Can I somehow use other 250 days? For example 250 days in 2000-2001?

Obviously my main goal is to backtest a system that uses "index-stock" -pair and I need to find index-stock combos that have the highest correlation, for example 2001-2002, and then I use my method 2002-2003 to see if it would have made any money. Thanks!

Maybe try using "OPTIONS" button on bottom of exploration window to go back
into the data you need. I've gone back to 1995 etc. when I want to test through the
2000 tech crash.
