I have TC 2007 on my desktop and my laptop. I was playing with bullish engulfing candles and the formula works perfectly on the desktop computer but gives me garbage on the laptop.
The formula is:
C1<01 AND O<L1 AND C>H1
I run this against all stocks with it sorting on this pcf called bullish engfuling candle today. On the desktop I get a beautiful set of results with every one it says True for being a bullish engulfing pattern. I'm not concerned right now with the stock having gone down for five days or anything like that. Just want bullish engulfing candles.
Desktop no problem ... laptop gives me lots of results and calls them true but they are not. The previous day is usually an open candle instead of closed, todays candle may be anything. It's just garbage.
I thought perhaps the program got corrupted or something because it used to work. So I went to the Control Panel and deleted Telechart 2005, shut down the computer, came back on and went to Worden.com and downloaded the program and re-installed it.
No help ... same garbage.
Any ideas or solutions?
Is there something wrong with the formula? I copied it exactly from the desktop pcf several times. When I first saw it messing up, after a few tries to get it working, I deleted the pcf and started over thinking something bad was embedded in the pcf. No help.

Just adding a note.
I have also tried some predone pcfs such as up 5 days in a row ... also comes up garbage. Some right .. some wrong.
This is on a machine with Vista Home Premium if that makes any difference. The desktop that works fine is XP Home SP2.

The first O (O1) looks like a zero instead of O for open.
Make sure both O's are the letter O and not zero.
Also make sure both computers are set to update
for "all items in system".
Thanks

=================
I might have made a type in the post but I have checked and rechecked the O's and the 1's repeatedly making sure they were right.
In the pcf I'm sure they are right.
But ... not only my pcf doesn't work, but the pre-made pcfs such as " up 5 days in a row " don't work either. And I didn't type them.
I'm suspecting something about a Vista update may have screwed things up, because things did work until a couple of days ago.
And, a complete removal and re-install didn't change things a bit.
I think I'm going to try copying the TC 2007 entire folder from the desktop ( which works ) to the laptop via the wireless network and see if that will help. Sure can't hurt much.
My darn network is touchy though. Vista does NOT play nice with XP.
I'm not sure how to make sure both computers are set to update for " all items in system " ... I run the Update every night and presumed it was updating everything, but that shouldn't have any effect on data it is already holding. A scan of all stocks with them sorted by the pcf for bullish engulfing candles should work and show me some ... does on the desktop.

If you click on " f* "
Then on the hammer.
(under the cancel button of the right)
A screen will pop up. On the left it says
"calculate for:"
You would choose "all items in system".
(also good practice to have 250 day history
checked below that)
See this about Vista:

tcnet does not work with vista
TeleChart and Vista crashing

looked at the articles you posted but they seem to all deal with video problems and the screen not displaying properly.
I don't have that kind of problem. My video is fine. But it doesn't get proper results from pcf's. It did for awhile. No problem. Then a few days ago it began messing up. I thought I had screwed up my formulas because I was experimenting with various ways to do the engulfing candles.
So I came in and made sure I had correct formulas for a simple bullish engulfing candle and it did not work. Checked against the desktop computer and made sure my formulas matched exactly. Desktop produces bullish engulfing candles on cue. If I say to look at all stocks and then sort on those up 5 days in a row it does it just fine.
Laptop with Vista does not. Just looked again at all stocks sorted on up 5 days in a row and some are actually down 5 and been going down a long time.
It is like the pcf is ignored or something.
Since it used to work, I re-installed. No help. I just copied from my desktop via the wireless net and apparently they aren't looking for the files in the same place because pcf's that I have on the desktop do not show up on the laptop.
There is some kind of serious problem with Vista and it isn't video now. I have no video problem at all. Screen looks fine.

I just went and checked on the updates that have been installed on this Vista laptop.
It says that on 6/28 an update to the .NET framework 3.0:x86 was installed and that is about the time I began having problems.
Is it possible this is the cause of the trouble?
Also, I was wrong about the video. I noticed some things on the Telechart screen disappearing! No other problems I have seen with other programs.
But on the left side where you select all items or all stocks etc. those lines are going blank but they seem to come back if I scroll the list.
I'd just about bet the new .NET thing is causing these problems.

azwillie,
Please make sure you are running the correct version of TeleChart for Vista:
TeleChart and Windows Vista
Please make sure you are running TeleChart in Administrator Mode:
- Right-click on the TeleChart Icon.
- Select Properties | Compatibility.
- Check Run this program as an administrator.
- Select OK
If the fixes above do not resolve the issue, please contact technical support.

Well, I've done all these things and nothing fixes the problem. Strangely, I don't see any problem in other programs such as Outlook.
I have uninstalld, re-installed, done System Restore back to 6/26 yada yada yada.
I give up.
I will call tech support Thursday. No point trying to do anything until after the 4th.

azwillie,
Technical support is going to be a far better resource for this type of issue than customer training.
