Hi, 

I wrote a pcf and ran it but it returns 0 scan.  Can you take a look at it?  What I want is:

price between $10- $20, minimum 100,000 shares, bop quiet accumulation, consolidation.

Here is what I wrote: H <=20 AND L >= 10 AND V >= 100000 AND BOP8.5 = BOP1 AND (MAXH5 - MINL5)/((AVGH5-AVGL5)) *5*50 + .001

Thanks.

Sophia

Not sure what the *5*50 is?

Volume is in 100 ths (2  zeros are left off)  so 100,000 would be 1000.

What you can do when you has this type of issue is run the parts seprate:

H <=20 AND L >= 10 
V >= 100000  (should be V>=1000)
BOP8.5 = BOP1 
(MAXH5 - MINL5)/((AVGH5-AVGL5)) *5*50 + .001

Add each part as you test and it may point you in the directon of the problem.

Thanks
diceman

Im not sure what your BOP is but I just noticed you have
"=" between the parts.
Probably unlikely it would be exactly equal.

Most would use ">" or "<" with something like BOP.


Thanks

dsashley,
Welcome to the forums. A very good foundation for learning how to use TeleChart can be gained by reviewing the following:

If you are new to TeleChart READ THIS FIRST!

In addition to everything diceman said, you need to compare the last part to something. You really don't want a Value based result as part of a Boolean (True or False) formula.

(MAXH5 - MINL5)/((AVGH5-AVGL5)) *5*50 + .001
