Is it possible to exclude present day in scans with a Platinum subscription.

I foud that most scans I designed do not work in real time, because they include the values of the prsent day.

for ex: if V > XavgV25 then the result  will be zero (no result)  until the end of the day.

Same for most of criterias (LR of 5 d > 0 give no result for ex).

thanks.

V > XAVGV25 is an example where checking for the volume of the current day might not be desirable early in the trading day. It shouldn't return zero results all day however. The number of symbols meeting this condition should get progressively larger as the day progresses.

There isn't a built in way to exclude the current trading day from an EasyScan, but it is possible to create Condition Formulas based on the previous bar instead of the current bar to use as conditions in your EasyScan.

V1 > XAVGV25.1

And you can add a 1-period exponential moving average with the offset set to 1 to most indicators to get the value of the previous bar instead of the value of the current bar. This allows you to click on the offset moving average and select Create Scan Condition to create conditions and have those conditions be based on the previous value of the indicator instead of the current value of the indicator.

This works during the trading day, but a new daily bar doesn't start forming until the next trading day. So after the market closes, you will still be using yesterday's values.
