Craig,
Sorry to get into this again. Today I updated and tried to print out the list of candidates from my EasyScan. Went to reports, today's prices, and print. What prints out seems to be a set list that is different than what I am seeing, different than the names kicked out by the EasyScan. How do I fix this?

Craig,
That would explain the errors yesterday quite nicely. Now, if I want to start work on the YLOD formula.. can I calculate the formulas without downloading price data?

Craig,
Seems to be working now.(Terrific!) Question: if I were to do an update now (in the middle of the trading day) as a Gold customer.. would my data be as of yesterday's close? Or rather, as of today but on 20 minute delay?
Because, the Telechart data that generated the reports I am using now was gathered after yesterday's close. But during some of the other times we worked on this, I had updated Telechart during the trading day... and this formula requires EOD data.

Sorted by the YHOD criterion and printed the report. TRUE for all of them.

PCFs list date of 9/06.

Craig,
Good thing to check. I downloaded last night after the close. I remember calculating the PCFs as shown, but, just to make sure, I looked in "Edit EasyScan" and saw the condition, true for each of the 4 PCFs, along with a number of stocks for which the condition was true.

Craig,
List of members printed out fine. Now for the real problem... that the list doesn't seem to be scanning for members it is supposed to. Out of the first six members I pulled out (sorting by 5 day average intraday range, descending order) NYX didn't belong in the list, nor did COGN or HET. PD did belong, AD was hard to verify based on my intraday ESignal charts. In any event: 3 of first 5 didn't belong. Would you mind running the scan as I gave it and seeing what is happening? I assume you have an intraday program that calculates pivot points (standard for most intraday charting software). Thanks much

craig,
The reason why being able to print out the roster matters (besides convenience): I'm trying to make sure the scan works, since the YHOD formula is a bit complicated. In any event I use ESignal for intra day trading. The idea was to make a scan that would tell me, when yesterday's high would coincide with "pivot points" for today. I definied "coincide" as being within 3 cents of a pivot point.
We discussed this in January under the topic "high and low of day coincident with pivot points."
On my spot checks... say for CCU, which came up on the list... yesterday's high was 29.49, and the closest pivot point, R1, was 29.44 (5 cents away). The scan also pulled up NYX; yesterday's high was 60.76; the closest pivot point was the central pivot, P, at 60.46. And so on. Either there is a problem with the "Yesterday's high coincident with today's pivot point" formula, or, one of the other selection critiera in the Easy Scan is the one that is actually selecting members for the watchlist. I had similar problems yesterday when I had the analogous EasyScan for "yesterday's low coincident with pivot points." Thanks much,
Sunlight
Thanks much

Craig,
thanks for suggesting the video to get me clear on the terms for different watchlists.
I can get to the EasyScan -- it now has 63 items, since I set it to select, by the 4 specified conditions, from "all stocks." Still don't see how to print them out when I go to the reports tab.

Carig,
I reviewed the video before setting up the EasyScan, just like you told me to. The EasyScan returns 74items. The Watchlist has zero items. Sunlight
