Question for anyone. I received my QP version 1.1b about a week ago. I am trying to write some short simple scans to get a feel for it. I've set up a small list of about 100 stocks to use as my input list to make the scan time short. The results I'm getting from my scans don't seem to always match up with the charts. For example, I wrote this to determine which stocks have turned positive with MACD (13,34,9) in the past week.:

input = "jimslist.lst"
Set MACD = 13,34,9 //Change the defaults for MACD
AllGroup
MACD(0) > 0
MAX(-1 , -4 , MACD) <= 0

I have changed the parameters in the display program to reflect the 13,34,9 values for the MACD. One of the scan results I got was FONR but the chart indicates that the MACD turned positive 8 days ago rather than in the last week. Can someone clue me in as to what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks, Jim
