I created a pcf below under a trainers instruction

MAXH5 AND C < O

It is suppose to pick out only those stocks that have a new intra-day 5 day high today, and that closed lower than they opened today.

But when i run it, the stocks that are returned do not meet the criteria...
so i must be doing something wrong...

I created a pcf with the above formula
then i created a scan of all items with the PCF as the only condition
but the scan returns do not match what i am looking for

any idea's or help?

My TC2005 is updating right now, so I cannot check to be sure, but I think that "MAXH5" only finds the highest high within the last five days but does not tell you WHICH day it happend. Try something like ( H = MAXH5 ) AND C < O instead. Good luck...

If you look to my original reply here:

Question about creating a scan

You will see that the full formula is:

H=MAXH5 AND C<O

Somehow you missed the 'H='
