    Hi there! 🙂

    Actually I’m working on version v11.1. I saw here that the bar limit for ProScreener should double, but I think it doesn’t. Can anybody confirm/deny this please?

    I’m working on a screener that gives me the total amount of bars and only selects the stocks with more than 254 bars. The code is this:

    if IsLastBarUpdate then

    if barindex < 254 then
        condition = 1
    else
        condition = 0
    endif

endif

SCREENER[condition](barindex as "barindex")

    The results I get give me BarIndex < 254 as expected, but when I compare it with another simple indicator that show me how many bars are there in total (script: return barindex), I see that some stocks actually have more than 254 bars, so I guess sometimes the screener executes on the last 254 bars and some other times less.

    Does anybody know why does this happens? How could I get a list of companies with more/less than 254 bars without errors?

    Thanks in advance!

    It was rumored that, but they did not change it.

    It works up to 254 bars, but you scan just the current condition.

    To scan the condition on the previous bar you will have to use:

    SCREENER[condition[1]](barindex[1] as "barindex")

    with SCREENER.

    Ok is good to know that they finally didn’t change that and its not my programming skills…

    Since I do all the calculations on IsLastBarUpdate, I don’t think condition[1] would help me.

    How can it be that the screener returns some stocks where the condition is true (therefore barindex < 254), and they still have more than 254 bars?

    It could be that since ProScreener scans the last 254, if for some unknown (to me) reasons some bars are missing it can tally less than 254 despite having more. It really has less than 254 WITHIN the last 254!

    But I’m just guessing trying to find out the most logical reason!
