Help with Screener Results

CaptainCaveman · 2020-07-20T08:08:50+00:00

Hi, I hope someone can help me, I have a screener I run on UK stocks called BullOpen12-26MA, and I ran this for UK Stocks. As you can see on the image [ProScreener2.jpg] the selection of Period is for 1 hour, and the conditions apply to a 2min time frame [ProScreener1.jpg] However, the selection still shows stocks where the EMA in downward sloping and the EMA12 CROSSES UNDER EMA26. In fact when I reverse the conditions from , that is change to CROSSES OVER and use <=, I still get the same stock showing in the Proscreener list What am I doing wrong here? Thanks John

To follow up. When I add a condition like Volume > 1,000,000 I still get a 3,389 results displayed. I created the conditions by “simplified creation” rather than “creation by programming” tab.

Legend
There is no conditions coded in your itf file:
```
// sample screener code
SCREENER(close as "close")
```
In assisted creation, you have to choose a sorting criteria in order to finish the process of creation and generate the complete code, otherwise the screener will return the entire stocks list you have selected.
