Bruce,

I am having trouble getting the BackScanner to refresh too much earlier than 2005.  I set the data to 4,000 and the starting data to 1/1/1998.  Although the BackScanner appears to be identifying buy and sell triggers from my layout criteria going back to at least 2000 the screen does not show buys and sells much earlier than mid-2005.

I have waited a while before refreshing, but to no avail.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,Michael

In the upper right hand corner of the Rules tab of BackScanner there should be a box which allows you to select the Time Frame. Try setting it to use the Main Chart.Time Frame (Price) or to the actual chart for which you want to use the Time Frame if it is not the Main Chart.

Bruce,

Thanks for the suggestion; however my results are still the same.  Perhaps the problem is in the StockFinder code itself, in which case I will make due with 2005.

Thanks,

Michael

I get results on the chart going back to 2005 until I change the time frame in the upper right of  BackScanner to use the Price History of the chart. At that point my results go back much further. So it is possible to get trades on the chart going back earlier than 2005.
