Every night I record the results of some custom easyscans I have developed (or copied from this great Forum!).  Since the scans utilize a PCF and use the databse or "list to scan" US Common Stocks, I can not plot this on a daily basis in any shape or form, is that correct?  Am going on a weeks vacation, and will not have access to TC2000 during that time, was hoping I would not lose a weeks worth of data.

There is a brute force approach: Modify your PCF's to run x days in the past.

Example: C is most recent close. C1 is close one bar (day) ago. C2 is two days ago, etc You can run the PCFs when you return.

nice bcochrane!  Yes, will be a pain with 10 PCFs to adjust for 5 days, but at least there is a solution.  Thank you!

If the PCF's are complex, consider copying them to Word or some other tool with editing capabilites, and then using a Replace function to change the days

If you can put all PCFs into one PCF with "AND" you can create a condition.

The condition box has a true x-bars ago parameter.

So you dont need to edit all the days ago parameters.

 

 

 

Thanks

Good catch Diceman, I guess that is why I described my suggestion as brute force. V17 isn't second nature to me YET

I was using a moving average of 1, offset by the days you wanted to look back,

before they added that feature.
