Daily “Gap Up” Code Error

  Dear ProRealCode Community,

  I’ve created a screener, which first looks for matches on the daily chart, and then works with a minute timeframe data.

  The trouble is, I can’t make ‘daily’ chart limitations to work properly. For example, I’ve a simple rule, which looks like this:

  Candle Gap Up with current day Open above MA(20)

  (Timeframe(1Day) MA20 = Average[20](close) GapUp = open > close[1] and open >open[1] and open>MA20)

  1 2 3

  (Timeframe(1Day) MA20 = Average[20](close) GapUp = open > close[1] and open >open[1] and open>MA20)

  And I am expecting, that just this simple rule will match stocks like ALEC today and then my screener will conduct further 1 minute checks.

  Yet it didn’t work as expected, and when I checked the code against ALEC, I can see that 1 minute rules works just fine, but once I reinstate daily condition – the screener stops working, stops showing matching 1 minute results.

  Can someone suggest, what’s wrong with my code? And how should I edit the code, to be able to both check for stocks with GapUp while current open is above MA(20) and then check for conditions on 1 minute timeframe?

  It’s correct, apart for the wrong first and last characters (two parentheses).

  Thanks, Roberto! Turns out there were another glitch (I couldn’t get screener/indicator to work if my formulas operate with previous days Close no matter how I try) but we got around that limitation also.
