    Hi,

    I’m trying to create a simple screener and the behavior seems weird to me. but I guess there is an explanation somewhere 🙂

    
TIMEFRAME(daily)
SMA50 = average[50](close)
SMA200 = average[200](close)

c1 = SMA50 > SMA200

SCREENER [c1]

    my screener returns the “AXA” stock. I’m attaching the chart of AXA. We can clearly see that the SMA50 is below the SMA200, not above. Why was it returned by the screener ?
    regards

    Hi,

    I see that you work with graphs where the historical data has not been adjusted after, for example, dividend payments…

    If you do not adjust the historical data there is a chance of “gap” formation, as in your graph, which cause wrong results in your screener…

    Go to “SetUp – Platform – Charts – Customize historical data”
