I donāt get any Criteria sorting
That’s because there is no sorting criteria shown in () on the last SCREENER line of code. You can’t get something for nothing!
I think that
Francesco Petrone – was getting a little bit confused by what the definition of criteria and how it worked

I was trying to solve Ā
Francesco Petrone riddle … any ideas for why he got numbers in his Criteria column??Ā I used the same Screener codeĀ that he said he used.
Doesn’t sound like he would have amended the Screener code so it may be like Nicolas said … an old forked version or a different Screener he was running??
As i told i am novice but i swear i didn’t amend nothing in the code.. I made some tests, and with the exact same code: with the last version of PRT i get the automatic sorting by criteria as showed in my images in the last page, but with PRT 10.3 there’s no criteria and no automatic sorting.. Really don’t know but doesn’t matter, now i understood how the screener works š
I propose again my question to you guys: What could i evaluate simultaneously to perfect the bullish and bearish breakout search in your opinion?
Vonasi i saw you analyzed and produced a lot of breakout indicators, there’s something in your opinion that could match with this screener to “confirm” breakouts on forex markets?
Sorry – I came a little late to this conversation and missed your earlier image showing some sort of criteria sorting. I can’t explain that as it is impossible without anything in () after the SCREENER command.
As for breakout – I have spent a lot of time investigating it but have not been impressed with any particular idea yet. I spend little time on forex and only try stuff out on it when I am testing casino ideas! I guess at heart I am a mean reversal major indices kind of trader!
No problem Vonasi and thank you for the help, I wish you good luck with indices š
Francesco, I trust you now š There are indeed sorting numbers in the criteria column in version 11 and I don’t know where do they come and what do they mean! I’ll be inquiring about that today!
And now with the full picture, I can sleep š as to why I got no ‘sorting numbers’ in the Criteria column … I am using v10.3.
All’s well that ends well, but will be even better if Nicolas finds out why the sorting numbers are showing in v11 … amazing no-one else has highlighted this as surely it can’t be on this Top and Bottom Screener code only??
Uuhh the riddle becomes interesting now… the screeners also seems to work pretty good with the searching of breakouts, maybe re-analyzing it well would be useful for all of us.
Let me know and thank you again š
I just had confirmation that these numbers shouldn’t be there when no sorting criteria are present in the code. Those numbers are used internally by ProScreener and should not appear. Thus they will disappear in a next update.
Ok, sorry if I come back to this topic again, but I was particularly fascinated by this screener and in the meantime i’m studying about coding. I noticed that after finding the bullish and bearish, the search functions of the 52 week highs and the last three days reach (from line 6 to line 15) seem to not work properly. In fact, even by removing the lines 6 to 15 from the code and starting the screener, it still gives the same results as the “complete code”. As if it only found bearish and bullish through the EMA and nothing more.
Also, since I trade intraday with forex, a more recent high than 52 week would be better in your opinion? Like two or four weeks.
Any thoughts?
The code is working correctly. It is looking for a proximity with a 250 periods lower low or higher high of the current timeframe you are launching the screener. It was designed to be run on a daily timeframe in the first place, so 250 days is almost a year = 52 weeks.
Ok this time it’s really useless to call you into question, I’m still learning and I didn’t understand that 250 refers to the days, thank you very much for your patience š
