I have a screener that works to my likings. I'm curious if there is a way for me to refer the screener in my backtest? That way the backtest can get the symbols that my screener comes up with and buy/sell based on some additional criteria

Screener Example:

filter = close > 20;

Conversion to Trading System:

buy = close > 20;
