Topic: Backscanner - buy question
Posted: Thursday, February 11, 2010 2:46:37 AM
Hi guys,

I am wondering if there is a way in backscanner to say "if condition is true, then buy the next day 1 tick above yesterdays high". Unless i am missing something i can only buy at open, close, middle etc.

What i am trying to achieve is to only buy if the uptrend continues.

Is there any way this can be achived?

Thanks in advance.

UPDATE: From all my testing it seems as though you really cant use rules/scans based on the LR Lines themselves. I tried using the Linear Regression Slope and performing the combo/scan on that and it appears to work.

Hi guys,

I am having an issue trying to get a watchlist scan to work based on a combo rule of 2 linear regression lines.

I have done this:
- 2 seperate Linear Regression lines - MACDH and Price
- created a rule for each one, LRL on MACDH moving up and LRL on price moving down
- Combine them into a combo rule and choose to scan my Watchlist

I run the scan and i do not get any results at all. However, if i just flick through the watchlist manually i can see plenty of stocks that match this condition.

Below is a screen shot of a stock (GIGM) that should return a result:



Can anybody help to work out what i am doing wrong? I have tried this in both SF4 and 5 and get the same result in both.

Thanks in advance.

HI,

I have the elder disk and unfortunately it does not contain either of these scans.

I too am actively trying to delelop them but not being a programmer i am having some difficulties.

There has been some discussions and some code examples here http://forums.worden.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=44734 which i am using as my basis to try and refine.

Feel free to join in and try to help us all develop them further!
