In which timeframe are you screening this condition? I read about a similar behaviour before in the spanish forums. Thought it had something to deal with testing bar that dont exist..so the screener return the nearest one.
A little less wiggle room for those doubting what is going on.
I have changed the code to:
TIMEFRAME(Daily)
Screener [Close < Open] (Open)
I have introduced the TIMEFRAME command to limit the scope of the screener from within the code. I have also shifted the criteria into the screener line of code to limit accidental inclusions.
The results areas follows:
Currencies – Mini Correct at Bar[0]
Shares – Norway Correct at Bar[0]
Shares – Italy Correct at Bar[0]
Shares – Germany Correct at Bar[0]
Shares – Australia Correct at Bar[4] Incorrect at Bar[0]
The sample shows the correct operation of the screener in 4 out of 5 samples.
Why won’t it work on “Shares – Australia”?
Where else may it not work?
Where else may it not work in the future?
Hmmmm, I got the same behaviour here with your code. Kind of weird. I asked someone who know well the proscreener engine, I’ll get back with an answer as quickly as possible.
I’m glad I could give you data/code so you could replicate the problem. It explains why I could never get any analysis to work on “Shares – Australia” CFD’s.
Nicolas, thank you. Your efforts have produce a desired result – equality with the rest of the markets. “Shares – Australia” is now screening on the last closed daily bar.
We can just hope for THE desired result of moving on to charts with Bar[-1] or Bar[-2] displayed. 😉
Expected: Signal on Friday 20th (supposed to be the last bar???)
Result: Signal on Thursday 19th (the bar before the last bar???)
Does anybody know how I can use a screener in the evenings after the trading session of the instrument (here DAX) is closed and get results for that day already?
I’m facing the same issue with the weekly last bars for Close price and Volume for UK Stocks.
Close or Close[0] which should show the weekly close for the last week is showing the close price for 2 weeks before which is basically Close[2] if the offset would have been working as expected.
Is it a known bug as I have seen there are a couple of threads in this forum asking the same question, though for different countries’ stocks?
I believe, this is a severe issue that needs to be fixed, to provide the ability to screen stocks on weekly timeframe.
Everything I read here seems “normal” IMO. I don’t know what are the real-time datas subscribed by everyone but:
If you are running a stock screener on Sunday for shares you don’t have subscribed to, you’ll get Thursday result. To get the Friday data on a share market, it needs that the actual day would be the next traded one, so in this case : Monday.
Also please consider that “traded weeks” differ for instrument : while some week start on Sunday, other ones start on Monday.
