Makes absolute sense, and confirms the train of thought I had, being that it's better to get some results that aren't quite right than it is to miss out on some that are!
Thanks for clearing that up Craig
Cheers,
Herb
PS: I know this topic isn't necessarily the place for it, but while I've got your attention, how would I go about changing my username..? It seems it was pre-assigned when I got my TC package... is this something I can do easily, or is it a job for customer services..?

Howdy Trainers and Telechart Gang,..
I've been running through the tutorial videos on candlestick patterns and have noticed that when I'm trying to set the value of conditions in my easyscans, it seems to be a bit of an imprecise process...
As a good example, watching the video "Scanning for "Spinning Top" Candlesticks", the "Candle - Body as % of Shadow" condition is set to a max value of 53 (53.48834). However, when I attempt to do the same, I can only select 52.50006 or 56.54207, and while the 52.5 is quite close to 53, there's almost an entire unit of value between 52.5 and 53.48.
Maybe these differences in value won't have too much of an affect on the results, but therein is my point,.. it has *some* affect.
Am I missing something (I wouldn't be surprised,.. I can miss a lot)? I imagine this goes some way to explain why some people are confused to find they have a different number of matching stocks than others? Is there a "solution" or is it just a matter of getting as close to the desired value as you can? Maybe I'm being petty 
On the quest to become a successful trader,

Thanks for the link to those archives Bucket Shop,.. didn't know they existed, so I've got plenty of reading to do!
Also, while it's perhaps not the news I was after, thanks for clearing up the situation Craig... I'll stick with Reuters for those custom fundamental filters for now then... either way, TC covers just about everything else under the sun, enough to keep me learning for plenty of time!
Cheers!

Hi There,
I'm new to TC2000 and it's EasyScan/PCF functions and I'm trying to determine how much these can be customised. I've watched the tutorials I received on CD and have checked these forums and still have some questions. Thanks in advance for any guidance.
To make a long story short, a recent trading course pointed me to Reuters' Power Screener, which allows for a similar function to TC's EasyScans. However, now that I'm a TC user, I'm trying to setup the same formulas so that I only have to refer to TC.
I see that there are a number of built-in formulas for EPS and dozens of other criteria, but am not sure of the formula syntax which would allow me to customise my own. For example, if I want to have an EasyScan filter for the EPS Growth Rate over 3 years,.. or if I want the Sales Percent Change year over year...
Is there an advanced EasyScan/PCF tutorial or lists of syntax or examples? While I'm new to this, most of it will be over my head, but the screens that I'm familiar with (such as those I listed above) I am eager to continue using within TC, and these will then lead me into learning more advanced filters, etc.
Thanks much for any assistance.
Always in the pursuit of knowledge,
Drew
