I cannot use 'Dividend Yield' as a condition in a new custom SCAN. Steps to reproduce:

Create New Scan.
Choose 'Dividend Yield' as condition.
Choose Value of Min-0
Save as TEST

Now I select TEST scan and I see the matching stocks (all stocks that do not pay any dividend).

I close TC2000 and re-open it (or just switch watchlist to something else and come back to TEST scan)... Then I notice that TEST scan shows all the stocks!! That means 'Div Yield' condition's value of Min-0 was reset to Min-Max within the TEST scan.

If this is bug, it is currently impacting my short trading (I dont want to short stocks paying ANY dividend), please look into this ASAP. If this is not a bug, please let me know if you can reproduce this.

NOTE: If I use value of Min-0.1 instead of Min-0, this problem does not occur

Simply switching to another WatchList and then back to my Dividend Yield scan did not create the problem you report. However, closing TeleChart and re-opening it did reproduce the problem. I will report it immediately.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. If any information is shared with me concerning what is causing it, or a possible fix, I'll report back to you.

The problem also occurs if:
I choose value of 0-0 for 'Div Yield'

In my case problem occurs when I spend a little while 5-10 min doing other things in TC2000 (switching to other custom scans or updating data) AND when I restart TC2000
