ok so i created a pcf to pick stocks that had a new 5 intraday low today and closed above the open price...
pcf -> (L = MINL5) AND C > O
but... when i put it in a scan as the only condition with all items selected... it does not do as is suppose to...
just looking manually, i found qualcomm (qcomm), which did fit the criteria, but was not in the results.
can anyone help figure out what i am doing wrong?

Are your PCFs calculated? Try recalculating them if not so.

Have you calculated your PCFs since your last download? Are your PCFs calculated againt ALL ITEMS IN THE SYSTEM?
Watch this video for me, it will take you through the steps to be sure your PCFs work correctly:

Theory 1.
Some computers have problems evaluating '>' or '<'
(Mine sometimes does)
Try reversing the comparison:
was: (L = MINL5) AND C > O
try: (L = MINL5) AND O < C
Theory 2.
The computer may be assuming: ((L = MINL5) AND C) > O
Try adding a second set of parentheses to avoid
confusing the computer:
try: (L = MINL5) AND (C > O)

When I used the PCF a few minutes ago (as is) it found QCOM.
