Try to change how you display the signal (not using backgroundcolor):

Long = low<low[1]<br /> if long then<br /> drawtext(“*”,barindex,low,dialog,bold,18) coloured(0,0,200)<br /> endif<br /> return long

1 2 3 4 5

Long = low<low[1] if long then drawtext(“*”,barindex,low,dialog,bold,18) coloured(0,0,200) endif return long

I reported that backgroundcolor has been buggy recently, should be fixed in a future patch.

Thanks Nicolas, I was hoping that was the reason the screener wasn’t picking up items, clearly a red herring

I may have been too hasty, the trial came only with real time data for forex! grrrrrr

however, the results are indeed correct for all of them. how annoying I need real time data to get a screener to work on a weekly time frame

well what an interesting discovery…thanks to all who have contributed and looked at this post

well assuming the week is now over (for FTSE at least) why does a weekly screener not pick up a higher high when not using real time data?

I have to use real time to get a weekly screener, otherwise it just doesn’t work
