Screener a week late?

  Hi Guys

  I have an issue with the code below in that for the Engulfing and Outside bars the screener is displaying results a week late? Ie it searches for a price action signal but doesn’t display the most current weekly candle, but the one prior? Yet when I use the same code in a standalone screener (ie just engulfing and outside bars) it reports the correct, latest bar in the results? Any help would be apricated as I use this scanner each weekend on the UK shares universe!

  And yet here is the standalone screener?

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20

  //detect BUOB BUOB =((close[1] < open[1]) and (open[0] < low [1]) AND (close > open[1]) and (close [0] > high [1])and (close > open))   //detect BEOB BEOB =((close[1] > open [1]) and (close[0] < low [1]) AND (open[0] > high[1]) and (close [0] < low [1]) and (close < open))   //detect BEEB BEEB = ((close[1] > open [1]) and (open[0] >=close [1]) and (close[0] < open [1]) and (close < open))   //detect BUEB BUEB = ((close[1] < open[1]) and (open <= close[1]) and (close > open[1]) and (close > open))   MA1 = exponentialaverage[10](close) C1 = close > MA1 C2 = Close < MA1   Screener [BUOB and C1] Screener [BEOB and C2] Screener [BEEB and C2] Screener [BUEB and C1]

  All I did was copy the above code into the main price action screener?

  Many thanks in anticipation of help!

  Do you have end-of-day-data?

  If yes, then on the weekly TF you’ll have data updated when each weekly candlestick closes, while for daily TF when a daily candlestick closes.

  Hi Robert

   

  Yes, I’m using end of day data as I trade shares on a weekly basis. I couldn’t understand why one scanner showed the most previous week’s candles and the other two weeks prior, yet both scanners as using the same code as far as  I can see??

  Why are you using all those SCREENER instructions at the end, just one is allowed.

  I’m afraid the last one overrides the previous three.

  Code is read from top to bottom, so only the last screener instruction will be used by ProScreener.

  If you have only EOD data, on a weekly chart, all results are delayed of one week.

  Robert – thanks so much!! That solved the issue. All these years using ‘screener’ and I didn’t one you should only have one screener line command per script. That totally explains why it was never working properly!  Thanks again!

  I have replaced all the screener lines with one command line that seems to work much better:

  Screener [(c1 and c5) or (c2 and c6) or (c3a and C5 and Indy7) or (c3b and c6 and Indy6) or (DCC and Indy6) or (PL and Indy7) or (IBBull and C5) or (IBBear and C6) ]((close/DClose(1)-1)*100 AS "%VAR" )

  1	Screener [(c1 and c5) or (c2 and c6) or (c3a and C5 and Indy7) or (c3b and c6 and Indy6) or (DCC and Indy6) or (PL and Indy7) or (IBBull and C5) or (IBBear and C6)  ]((close/DClose(1)-1)*100 AS "%VAR" )
