    Ive attached a screenshot of a stock listing from my newly created scan. The weekly chart (left) shows one of the stocks selected.

    To the right is the scan code I generated. In summary, the scan should find all NYSE stocks where:

    1. Currently weekly low is lower than all 3 prior weeks
    2. Current weekly close > prior week’s close
    3. Volume >= 50 SMA of volume

    Any/all help appreciated!!

    Thanks!

    It’s helpful to post your code on here as then I could copy and paste your code and run it on my Platform and see what I get and also I can easily make changes if your code does not work.

    Above is quicker problem solving than me suggesting changes to you and you making changes and then me having to check back on here to see if my suggestion worked or not etc.

    There does not appear to be anything wrong with your code btw.

    Thanks! Good suggestion. I have included code below –

    c1 = (low < low[2])

    c2 = (close > close[1])

    indicator1 = Volume
    indicator2 = Average[50](indicator1)
    c3 = (indicator1 >= indicator2)

    c4 = (low < low[3])

    c5 = (low < low[1])

    SCREENER[c1 AND c2 AND c3 AND c4 AND c5] (Variation AS “%Chg prev bar”)

     

    Thanks again!

    You don’t say what you are finding wrong with your screener?

    I get loads of results from List – Shares US Wall St … see attached.

    Thanks. The chart attachment on original post (wkly on left) clearly shows that the stock highlighted does not meet

    the scan requirement: current low is lower than lows of past three weeks.  There are others where current close

    is not greater than the prior week’s close. Not sure what it’s doing, but I can see what it’s not doing.

    As you have the code, perhaps you can pull up a few of the stocks you get as results and see if the

    conditions are met.

    Thanks again.

    I just checked the top 3 and all 3 are meeting the conditions.

    Attached is the top one for example … do you not get the same or am I misinterpreting? 🙂

    The chart you posted in your first post meets the conditions on the second to last bar … some Issue around time maybe?  Is your Platfrom on UTC+0?

    What do you get if you run your Screener right now?

    I think it is time related. My current scan shows conditions met for 1st 4 stocks IF I

    exclude last week. I’m on Denver time, I think its +7. Let me set on +0 and see what happens.

    Doesnt seem like that would be a problem as week is over, but what the hey, I’ll give it shot. 👍

    Thanks!

    Changed time to UTC +0. No difference.  (Denver is -7 I believe, not +7).

    Weird, scan doesnt seem to pick up the week just passed at all.

    Clutching at straws now, but I got to thinking … when does the week end … just before the new week starts?  Which is 00:00 Monday.

    So maybe that’s why the wek just passed is excluded because the week hasn’t passed yet?? 🙂

    I have Display weekend data ticked … do you?

    Hmmm. Perhaps thats the prob. Where is the Display weekend data election to be ticked?

    Thanks!!

    Same place as Timezones.

    If you can’t find It I’ll do a screen shot but I’m not in PRT at the mo.

    Sorry, I dont see that option. Ive done a screenshot of the time zone page that I see.

    Attached.

    When handy.

    Thanks!

    Try selecting the option for timezone as set on my computer … same as I do (but for Denver UTC – 07:00), see attached.

    The weekend data option may appear and / or your Screener may then work correctly anyway with above settings?
