In your latest video you reviewed a series of PCFs used to scan for good buy/long stocks. I have found these scans very useful.
However, in the examples you provided on the DVD I purchased, I noticed that in your PCFs you had MACD PCFs that were designed to identify good SELL/SHORT stocks.
I am not aware of any information you have provided on these PCFs. Can you provide these PCFs so that I may include them in my PCFs?

For the MACD PCFs switch all the < to > and visa versa. Do the same for the MoneyStream PCFs.

You can also flip the ranges selected in the Price vs Range conditions in the EasyScans.

Please provide examples of PCFs for "flip" Price vs Range

Flipping the values means this:

If you have two PCF's in an EasyScan, and to find a bullish whatever, you accept high values for PCF#1 and low values for PCF#2, then to find a bearish whatever, you would accept low values for PCF#1 and high values for PCF#2. That's not always the correct approach, but that's what we mean when we say to flip the values.

I am sorry I was not more specific in my previous request. I understand the meaning of your last response. However, when I blindly change the < for > etc I get a "false" respnnse from testing the PCF.
What I need is the MACD PCFs Peter provided on his vidio converted to the negative (bearish) view. Can you provide this?

False is a valid result. If you test one of the original PCF's, and you get a TRUE result, then flipping the < and > signs will most assuredly lead to a FALSE result for that same test symbol. Follow Craig's instructions above.

When you test a PCF it tells you what is returned for that test symbol.

For a numerical PCF, it will give a value. For a Boolean PCF it will give either TRUE or FALSE. FALSE only means the test symbole was not TRUE for the PCF.

Doug, please take one of Peter's MACD Bullish examples and convert it as discussed by Craig. Then, send it to me so that I can use it as a model for the other PCFs. I would appreciate the help.

In the time we have taken to send messages back and forth you could have provided an example and I would have "gone away". How about it guys, care to respond to my request?

Um.... Is the example I gave above not what you asked for (and provided in less than 3 minutes after your request)?
