I think I know the answer to this question but I just wanted to confirm.

Does a screener result/criteria have to be a positive integer or is there a way to use ASCII characters or anything like that?

I was trying to return integers prefixed with a minus sign for a short signal and no minus sign for a buy signal but noticed I wasn’t getting any short signals, hence my question.

Any tips on how to differentiate long v short clearly would be appreciated.

Thanks

Rob

I think I figured out my logic problem but would still welcome any tips!

ProScreener does require positive integers, you can use 1 for Long and 2 for short (or whatever else you prefer).

PRT does not support alphanumeric data type.

Sorting criteria doesn’t have to be a positive integer.

For example:
```
SCREENER [signal](signal AS "1=↑/-1=↓")
```
