I only want to scan for stocks that have at least a certain number of years of daily price history.
Thanks,
Michael

Thanks much for all the good feedback!

Why isn't there any way in Blocks to see what the calculated value of an indicator is on a chart. I can click on a bar and see the last closing value. Why can't I also see what the 200 SMA is or any other indicator plotted on that chart?

There are some things I love about TradeStation and some things I certainly can't stand. One of the things they have gotten right in their user interface is the opening/saving of desktops and workspaces. I'd love to see you get Blocks to work a bit more intuitively like TS does. I have struggled trying to set up a workspace on a second monitor and get a chart dropped onto it and then save it and then have it open up automatically when I open Blocks again. I can't make any of it work and I feel like a moron and like giving up.
One of the things that Michael Thompson struggled with in his Denver presentation was going through a bunch of work creating a new indicator, dropping it into a chart and then having to close Blocks because of memory buggyness. When he opened it back up, it had not saved his new object. So he had to recreate it in front of the class. Very tedious for him, I'm sure. Why wouldn't you design Blocks to always prompt the user about saving any unsaved objects so that they didn't accidentally lose stuff?

Unless Gmail is blocking you guys at the servers, I should be getting emails. I always check my spam/junk folder and have never seen you show up in there or in my Inbox with a sender as forums@stockscope.com. Might want to check it out with Google or with other Gmail users. They don't even give us an option to manually whitelist or blacklist specific domains or email addresses.
Thanks,

Much thanks! That was exactly what I needed.

Every time I post to the forum, I always click the Watch This Topic link and am informed via a pop-up window that "You will now be notified with new posts to this topic". Great! That's exactly what I want. But it does not appear to ever work. I have never received an email with a follow-up to my posts, and there have been many follow-ups. I have double-checked my email address in your system and it is fine. Is this broken on the forum or am I doing it wrong?
Thanks,

I am excited about the potential for Blocks as a great technical analysis tool, but I am equally frustrated right now by its bugs, lack of fully built-out user interface and lack of decent documentation. If I click on Help in the menu and select Online User's Guide, it takes me to the Blocks home page on the web with nothing helpful. If I click on Knowledge Base, it takes me to the online knowledge base with listings of the built-in tools and strategies, but this is NOT a user's manual or helpful for learning basic functionality.
In the Denver presentation, we saw Michael Thompson show us that you could have more than one workspace window open on more than one monitor. Great. How do I do it? If I have Blocks open in the default Personal Chartist workspace and click on File / Open Workspace, wouldn't it be intuitive to have it open another workspace. All I get is a replacement of the current workspace with the one I have chosen to open. How do I create and open more than one workspace?
Thanks,
Michael

Can someone help me with this? Is there a built-in indicator in Blocks that I can use to specify where within a day's range a stock opens or closes? (e.g. bottom 20% of range)
Thanks,

Kuf:
I'm not finding that it works the way you are saying. For instance, I just ran a scan-only strategy on the Nasdaq 100 for a very simple strategy: List all the stocks that had a close today above yesterday's close and also closed above today's open. The results show 9 stocks:
AAPL
AMLN
APOL
BMET
CELG
NVDA
ISRG
GENZ
EXPE
Flipping through the charts, this appears to be an accurate list for today. However, on none of these charts is there a True arrow for today. Also, for previous days, I obviously get a lot of true and false arrows, but they don't always make sense or jibe with what happened on that day. For instance, I get a lot of past days with both a true and a false arrow. How can it be both? I also get a lot of days where there is no arrow and there should be a true. In fact, if I look closely, I can see that none of the last 3 trading days on any of these charts have any arrows, and there are several that should be true. That is what has led me to wonder if I'm getting appropriate trading signals the night before for the next trading day's open. Can you explain what is happening?
Thanks,
Michael
