ProScreener returning incorrect data

  Hi

  I’ve been having a lot of trouble setting up a scan in ProScreener. This is partly due to the scanner not being able to scan a weekly bar on the weekend. However I have also tried to scan on a Monday and a Tuesday and its still not correct so I must have something wrong.

  To simplify things I have taken just one condition from my scan and its still returning stocks that at outside of the criteria. Could someone please tell me what might be wrong with this simple scan.

  This is my formula

  c1 = Close > Highest[15](close)[1] SCREENER(c1)

  1 2	c1 = Close > Highest[15](close)[1] SCREENER(c1)

  I’ve uploaded the following images.

  1. The ProScreener window. I have weekly selected and the ASX100

  2. The results that the scan returned

  3.  Stock RHC clearly is not a weekly 15 bar highest close so why is it there?   RIO, RMD, RRL etc are also not correct

  Do I have to somehow filter the results so that it only returns candidates that are true?

  I also tried adding  TIMEFRAME(Weekly) but it made no difference.

   

  Thanks

  Alan

  Condition to be tested with SCREENER instruction must be under brackets, not parenthesis:

  c1 = Close > Highest[15](close)[1] SCREENER [c1]

  1 2	c1 = Close > Highest[15](close)[1] SCREENER [c1]

  Great stuff.  Its almost ok now. I must have a problem with one or two of my formulas. How do I make something plot on a chart so that I can check?

  c1 = Close > Highest[15](close)[1] if C1 then DRAWARROWUP(barindex,low) COLOURED(0,155,10) endif SCREENER [c1]

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

  c1 = Close > Highest[15](close)[1]   if C1 then   DRAWARROWUP(barindex,low) COLOURED(0,155,10)   endif   SCREENER [c1]

  If you want to make an indicator, don’t use ProScreener instruction 🙂

  c1 = Close > Highest[15](close)[1] if C1 then DRAWARROWUP(barindex,low) COLOURED(0,155,10) endif RETURN

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

  c1 = Close > Highest[15](close)[1]   if C1 then   DRAWARROWUP(barindex,low) COLOURED(0,155,10)   endif   RETURN
