Concerning Blocks:
1. what does the cumulator block do?
2. can blocks be used for intra-day data, or is daily data the shortest time increment?
3. I have created blocks and saved them in the Chart folder as plot files, but cannot access them for BackScan. How do I make the blocks available for use as indicators in BackScan.?
4. If a block takes a date and bar and outputs a date and value, what is the value in relation to the bar; is it the close of the bar or some other value?
5. What are the commands for turning the pointer on and off in blocks; I sometimes see the pointer, other times not.
Thank you

My scan results yield stocks that visually do not appear to meet the scan criteria. In particular, I’m scanning for stochastic levels <=40 for pcf settings of 8 (period) and 3 (SK period).
Yet when I look at the stochastics chart shown in the middle window with the same settings, many of the stocks have stochastics levels that are >40. Parenthetically, the middle window indicator has an SD period set to 3; the pcf doesn’t provide for a SD period setting. But that shouldn’t make a difference because I’m only interested in the SK.
I’ve updated the pcf and made sure I’m looking at the most recent daily bar for both the pcf and the middle window chart, but they still don’t match, in many cases they’re not even close.
What accounts for this?
Thanks

I've plotted a stochastic in the middle window. I edited the data bar to display the value of the stochastic level, but the stochastic value displayed never changes even as I move the pointer around the chart. The other data (high, low, close, etc.) does change, but not the displayed stochastic value.
Any sugggesions?

When you input a bar, what is the inputvalue of the bar? Is it the close, high, average value, etc.?
Thanks

Thank you for your assistance. I have viewed the videos you recommend. What they don't cover are commands such as "Public Overrides Sub Calculate" or what is the differnece between a "sub" and a "class" or how to use "skip" or other functions/commands in the code you prepaared.
How would I go about learning more about these and other available commands?
Thanks you

Using code blocks, how would I test for the following:
1) a close less than the close 4 bars ago and
2) if and only if condition 1 is met, the bar that fulfills condition 1, is followed by 10 consecutive bars in which the close is higher than the close of the bar 4 periods ago and
3) if and only if condition 2 is met, then counting from the last day the fulfills condition 2 (that is , the 10th consecutive bar with a close higher than the close 4 bars ago), there are 20 bars, which do not have to be consecutive, in which the close is greater or equal to the high 2 bars ago.
The output should be a 1 or other marker when the all 3 conditions are met. There need not be any plot for bars for which all three conditions have not been met.

In connection with the code bock editor in Snap Sheets, it is extremely difficult to use the code block editor no reference manual.
Let’s start with the pull-down menu generated when you type “me.codeblock.” The first item in the pull down menu is “AddDefaultInputBlocks”, the last “WritePositionXML.” I need to know what each of the entries in that pull-down menu, mean.
Right-clicking in a chart generates another pull-down menu, one entry on which is “patch panels”. What does that mean?
In the “New Plot” window, with the fields “Name”, “plot Type” and “Scale With”, the last two fields have pull down menus. I need to know what each of the entries in each pull-down menu means.
Right-clicking on a block diagram, generates a “select code block type” menu, the first item of which is “two bar to T/F Line” the last of which is “Two Bar Period to Line” I need to know what each of the 15 entries in that menu means.
What does “set breakpoint” mean?
What plot function is use to generate the results of a “True/False” block?
Thank you for your attention to this.
