    Hi

    I am having an issue with the screener.

    I have 3 conditions for a bull screen.

    Average[38}(close)<Average[38](close)[10] (daily)

    Average[38](close)>Average[38](close)[1](daily)

    Average[5](close)>Average[5](close)[1](daily)

    So the idea is to have the 38moving average lower than it was 10 days ago. Also to have the 38moving average higher than the previous day. And to have the 5 moving average as higher than the previous day. I have set it that all conditions have to be met.

    When I program and test this against a list of shares that I have I get ASX:AZJ coming up in the scan. But it is actually lower on the 38moving average than the day before. Admittedly it measures to 4 decimal places on the moving average and it is only the last 2 that show it lower. 3.8655 is lower than 3.8665, which means the 38moving average is still going down.

    Can someone explain why this is happening? I am new to using the proscreener so it is most likely the way I have programmed it.

     

    Thanks,

    Shane

    If you post the code (using the ‘Insert PRT Code’ button) we can try to replicate your results.

    On which TF?

    On which list?

    It looks like after it updated for a day that it is reading correctly. I had trying to restart but it still was throwing up the false reading.

    I was looking at the daily, which i wrote in the original post.

    Did you cut and paste incorrectly?

    Your code should look like this:

    close[10] is actually 11 candles back including the current one which is candle zero. Perhaps this is why results are different to your expectations?

    I use both that code as a screener and as an indicator (to spot previous days), but I was never  reported ASX:AZJ:

    it’s performing correctly.

    Cool. Thanks for testing it for me.

    Must of just needed a day to update before it would work correctly.

    Hi again,

    I have been thinking about adding a daily % change indicator to the above indicator, to show when the trend starts to kick, mainly to isolate small cap shares that are about to rise significantly. How do I program it to look for a positive increase of between 3 and 10%? The simplified creation tool doesn’t allow for this. I am not really sure what the indicator for this would even look like.

    Thanks,

    Shane
