Always the expert!  Will give this a try.

Thank you!

Hi,

I wrote a new scan in "MY FORMULAS".  When I run that particular scan, it continues to run on an old watchlist and not the new watchlist I selected to test the scan.  I tend to scan a larger universe but test scans on much smaller ones.

What must I do to get the scan to run on the smaller universe?  The scan is running on the High Cap 3000 what seems to be by default.  The High Cap 3000 watchlist is CLOSED while the desired watchlist is open.

Thanks.

Hello,

It just dawned on me that I don't know how to implement a search among

the components of the pre-constructed INDUSTRY SECTORS watchlist.

If I want to find the iX designation for say BIOTECHNOLOGY, how is that

done?

Thanks.

Hi again.

I was developing  a plan per D Landry in "The Layman's Guide to Trading Stocks."

I believe he ran a prelim scan once per week that scanned for price, volume

and volatility constraints and then subjected the generated watchlist to more

specific scans daily.  Otherwise, yes, i think one program would scan all.

Thanks.

Thank you.

Yes, at first glance it would seem like simply coding for all criteria in one scan program

would do just as you said.

Hi Bruce,

I am trying to apply sequential scans to a watchlist. For example, I start w/ the

RUSSELL 3K.  Then apply a prelim scan to return those stocks showing a

specified minimum price, minimum avg 30day volume and minimum 50day

historical volatility.  That produces a much smaller watchlist as would be

expected.  I would then like to apply a second more specific scan to the

shorter returned watchlist.  However, it seems that when I apply that second

scan, it is the original RUSSELL 3K that is scanned and NOT the shorter

watchlist derived from the pre-scan. What is the correct produre for sequential

scanning?

Thanks.

Hello,

How do I go about finding commodity-related indices in the database?  I found

DJCI and DJCI.X as well as CRY0 quite by accident.  The ticker symbol

for the Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM) was assigned to something

else entirely.

Thank you.

Hello,

How would I go about searching for commodity-related indices?  I found

DJCI and DJCI.X as well as XOIL.X quite by accident.  I looked based on

ticker symbols provided by the index owner (BCOM for Bloomberg and CRY

for ThomsonReuters Core CRB) but that failed.

Thank you.

By Jove I think I've got it!

L4 > AVGC10.4 etc.

Hi,

I wrote a progam to scan for pullbacks to the 10-day moving avg.  The code is

as follows:

(L > AVGC10 OR L <= AVGC10)

AND (L1 > AVGC10)

AND (L2 > AVGC10)

AND (L3 > AVGC10)

AND (L4 > AVGC10)

AND (L5 > AVGC10)

AND (L6 > AVGC10)

AND (L7 > AVGC10)

AND (L8 > AVGC10)

AND (L10 > MINL45 AND L11 > MINL45 AND L12 > MINL45 AND L13 > MINL45

AND L14 > MINL45 AND L15 > MINL45 AND L16 >MINL45 AND L17 > MINL45

AND L18 > MINL45 AND L19 > MINL45 AND L20 > MINL45)

I tested the above on ticker symbol ADM,which visual inspection of the stock chart

indicates that it does indeed conform.  However, it gave back a FALSE reading.

I noticed that the value for the AVGC10 term was the same for all entries.  For example.

the values used to compute the L4 term (L4 > AVGC10) appeared as 51.15 > 51.63.

The value for the 10-day MA was given on the price chart as 50.71 for L4 (and the low

was given as 51.15).  Thus, the expression would have been expected to be 51.15 > 50.71.

What is the appropriate code term to obtain the 10-day MA value for the day in question, eg, 50.71,

versus the value used for the AVGC10 term throughout the computation, eg, 51.63?

Thank you.
