  I’m just trying to get started with screeners, so I decided to start with the absolute basics. The problem is though. I can’t even get this simple screener to work. Any idea’s?

   

  Thanks in advance.

  indicator1 = MACDline[120,260,90](close) indicator2 = ExponentialAverage[90](MACDline[120,260,90](close)) c1 = (indicator1 < indicator2) c2 = (indicator1 < 0) SCREENER[c1 AND c2] (Variation AS "%Chg prev bar")

  1 2 3 4 5 6

  indicator1 = MACDline[120,260,90](close) indicator2 = ExponentialAverage[90](MACDline[120,260,90](close)) c1 = (indicator1 < indicator2) c2 = (indicator1 < 0) SCREENER[c1 AND c2] (Variation AS "%Chg prev bar")

  The problem is in your code and because of the ProScreener limitations of lookback periods. In fact, ProScreener can only used 254 bars lookback from now, so 260 periods is too large to calculate completely your MACD and give you any results. Try to lower your indicators periods and you’ll find ProScreener is working well 🙂
