Hi-I'm getting all kinds of junk showing up in this scan that shouldn't be there (45 stocks...some under $2...etc-list below)

https://www.screencast.com/t/mJaSelqo6Zz 

C > 2 AND C < 12 AND AVGV30 > 500 AND C < (1.15*MAXH2.1) AND MAXH 2.1 > MAXH2.4 AND MAXH2.1 > 1.35*MINL5.2

I either have a part of this formula out of kilter or I have some broken data...basically trying to scan for stocks between $2-$12 that in the last 1-5 days broke out for a 35% gain off of the lows and is in a pullback from that initial spike (though am allowing the following few days to consolidate in a bull flag up to about 15% greater than the original spike...

Many of these are not even close to filling the bill:  

I don't see where you are checking for a pullback at all. In any case, I think the main issue with the formula is the space in one of your MAXH2.1 references. Please try the following instead (it still isn't checking for a pullback).

C > 2 AND C < 12 AND AVGV30 > 500 AND C < 1.15 * MAXH2.1 AND MAXH 2.1 > MAXH2.4 AND MAXH2.1 > 1.35 * MINL5.2

Bruce:

Pullback is assumed with a short sharp 35% move over just a few days...I didn't want to box it in by requiring current price to be lower than that pivot high-thus the reason for allowing strong consolidation after the spike to take the price higher than the original spike with this part of the formula:

AND C < 1.15*MAXH2.1

Yes, I don't know how I missed that space after looking at it 10X...yikes!  But much better scan now-only 19 showed up and several look good!

Thanks for your help with this...

Does V19 highlight any mistakes in PCF code before I embed it in a scan?

Some syntax checking is done, but it certainly doesn't catch every error.
