    having difficulty sorting my screener results properly

    i have defined the timeframe:

    TIMEFRAME(daily)

     

    i have defined the variable I want to sort by:

    proc = ROC[20](close)

     

    I am happy with the screener test output but the results are not sorted by the proc properly as when I work down the list the proc is not in any sort of order for individual shares

    screener[test1] SORT BY (proc)

     

    anyone any thoughts about where im going wrong?

    You can write:

    screener[test1](proc as "criterion")

    you can use the CRITERION column to sort data.

    thanks robertogozzi – that works for sorting the criteria

     

    another question please

    the value for the ROC(20)(close) i get in the screener list does not correspond to the ROC(20) line on my chart – why would that be?

    I have specified timeframe(daily) in the screener and the ROC on the graph is selected to 20 units – but the results are wildly different

    Actually I don’t know why there are such discrepancies.

    RSI returns correct data, apart from some decimals at times.

    I suggest that you open a ticket for assistance hitting Ctrl+M from the platform.
