There are additional settings on the Back Test Screen that are not stored automatically in our queries. These are the Minimum and Maximum Odds as well as the Favourite Rank and the Favorite Rank Operator.


We can add these settings to the Notes/Free Text - Field as shown in the screenshot below.


The Notes/Free Text Field reads - A-Test-1,#MIN1.5,#MAX30,#FAV4,#PMIN2,#PMAX5,#PUSE1,#OPGT,#2FAV100,#2OPLT


Every time a query is loaded into the settings grid either through the 'Load Selected Query' OR through the Online Preset Database, the Free Text Field is checked by TBM for any Back Test Settings.


These Back Test Settings are ignored when the query is run without it being loaded first into the Settings Grid.
