Hello:

I am trying to put together a PCF that will give me only stocks whose highs and lows, for the day, are =to or > than $3.00.  I made a PCF as follows:  maxh2>MINL2>=3.00.  When I tested it every stock I entered came back with values greater than or equal to 3.00..  But when I put it in a scan the values are all over the place and not the 3.00.

What am I doing wrong and can I add something that will ask for stocks that have met the requirements for the past 30 days?

thanks

Tom

Are you talking about the actual high and low being greater than or
equal to 3 or are you talking about the difference of the two (H-L) ?
 
Just on today's close (or yesterdays also)?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your formula is:
 
maxh2 (this is ther highest high for 2 bars)
MINL2 (this is the lowest low for two bars)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
If that's what you want to use. It would be:
 
MAXH2>=3ANDMINL2>=3
 
If you want the difference. It would be:
 
MAXH2-MINL2>=3
 
 
Hope that helps.
 
Thanks

I'm just a trader here like everyone else.
 
I'm pretty fluent with telecharts language and PCF's.
(although not as good as the trainers)
 
If I see someone "stuck" on a problem and feel I
can offer advice on what the problem may be I
typically will chime in.
 
I've found that helping others with their problems has
made me more effective in getting the things I need out
of Telechart.
 
 
Thanks
diceman
