Is there an easy method for changing the date for a PCF or EasyScan. For example, I want to view scans over a period of time to see # of stocks that meet certain criteria.

You can create PCFs for past dates.
Here are some examples of the syntax for that:

Thanks for the response. This is helpful.
I am more interested in methods for answering questions similar to the following:
1. How many of the SP-500 stocks have the xx day exponential average increasing (or decreasing)? I want this data for 1-2 years, and it will be very labor intensive to rewrite the PCF for this number of days.
2. How many of SP-500 have P/E less than 5-year average P/E? I want same data for 1-2 years.
3. Similar "counts" of stock lists that meet certain criteria - for many days of history.
Thoughts?

This level of backtesting is not practical within TeleChart... for now.

Thanks for response. Could this be forwarded to resources for consideration in future upgrades. I suggest the ability to create a "count" indicator that allows charting items in a list that meet certain criteria. Or perhaps the ability to have the system recalcualate PCF's or other criteria (P/E ratio vs. 5 yr. P/E avg) for a certain date - essentially backdating a stock list end date.
Thanks again.
