  Hi.

  Is there a way to create a screener that ishows performance since 01.01?

  Thanks.

  Hi,

  Because ProScreener has a limitation of 254 bars lookback, I coded this little indicator to compute the performance of an instrument since the first day of the year.

  once previousbar = 0 once hh = 0 once start = close if(barindex>previousbar) then previousbar=barindex hh=MAX(hh,high) var = (1-(start/hh))*100 varmax = MAX(var,varmax) endif if(year<>year[1]) then hh = 0 varmax = 0 start=close endif RETURN varmax

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

  once previousbar = 0 once hh = 0 once start = close   if(barindex>previousbar) then previousbar=barindex hh=MAX(hh,high) var = (1-(start/hh))*100 varmax = MAX(var,varmax) endif   if(year<>year[1]) then hh = 0 varmax = 0 start=close endif   RETURN varmax

  You can include this one in your ProScreener with a CALL instruction or copy/paste the code in it and get the “varmax” variable to achieve what you want to do. Hope it helps.

  Hi Nicholas.

  Thanks for your help.

  The indicator calculates the max year performance since start of the year.

  You code is really helpfull, i use it:

  once start = close if(year<>year[1]) then start=close endif RETURN ((close-start)/start)

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

  once start = close   if(year<>year[1]) then   start=close endif   RETURN ((close-start)/start)

  And i have performancesincestartofyear indicator.

  Then, i try to create the screener.

  pssoy = call performancesincestartofyear SCREENER(pssoy as "close")

  1 2	pssoy = call performancesincestartofyear SCREENER(pssoy as "close")

  But it doesn’t work. It gives nothing.

  Can you help please?

  Thanks.

  Andrea

  Hi Andrea,

  This code will solve your issue I believe, I haven’t test it:

  once start = close if(year<>year[1]) then start=close endif perf = (close-start)/start SCREENER [perf] (close as "close")

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

  once start = close   if(year<>year[1]) then   start=close endif   perf = (close-start)/start   SCREENER [perf] (close as "close")

  I try this but don’t work.

   

  once start = close if(year<>year[1]) then start=close endif perf = (close-start)/start SCREENER [1] (perf as "perf")

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

  once start = close   if(year<>year[1]) then   start=close endif   perf = (close-start)/start   SCREENER [1] (perf as "perf")

  The screener is really screening ‘perf’ variable. But the list is populated with the actual close only.

  Change the last line with this :

  SCREENER [perf] (perf as "perf")

  1	SCREENER [perf] (perf as "perf")

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

  once start = close   if(year<>year[1]) then   start=close endif   perf = (close-start)/start   SCREENER [perf] (perf as "perf")

  It doesn’t work!

  I know why.. Because sometimes start=0 it creates a ‘division by zero’ error in ProScreener and then it stops and don’t give any results.

  Here is the fixed code:

  once start = close if(year<>year[1]) then start=close endif if start=0 then start=start[1] endif perf=((close-start)/start) SCREENER [1] (perf as "perf")

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13

  once start = close   if(year<>year[1]) then start=close endif   if start=0 then start=start[1] endif   perf=((close-start)/start)   SCREENER [1] (perf as "perf")

  The right code is:

   

  once start = close if(year<>year[1]) then start=close[1] endif if start=0 then start=start[1] endif perf=((close-start)/start)*100 SCREENER [1] (perf as "performancedainizioanno")

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13

  once start = close   if(year<>year[1]) then start=close[1] endif   if start=0 then start=start[1] endif   perf=((close-start)/start)*100   SCREENER [1] (perf as "performancedainizioanno")

  Previuos code don’t calculate first day of year.

  I write it if someone need it.
