The new 32-bit QP beta arrived in the mail today (O frabjous day! Calooh! Callay!), and I sent a note to Gary thanking him. Everything installed easily, with no problems. The Internet Downloader and phone downloader work fine.
Scanning is much faster. I did some scans of more than 10,000 stocks in about 2 minutes (a period technically defined in TA as a "jiffy").
Most of the scans are easily translated by adding a semicolon after each statement and taking out the backslashes after each "and."
So Richard's BBB scan is now:
output = "bbb.lst";
if Close(0)-Close(-5)>.05*Close(-5) and
Vol(0) > MovAvg(0,63,vol) and
Close(0)>.85*Max(0,-250,cl) then
println Symbol , "," , " Close:", Close(0) , "," , " Vol:", vol(0) , " , " , " PE:", PE , " , " , " QRS:", QRS(0) , "," , " Sharesfloat:", Sharesfloat , "," , description;
endif;
The more involved scans don't translate as easily. I couldn't get past the error messages with Bill R.'s CCI scan, for example. He might have some ideas on how to translate it.
Also, with your Brotnov scan, I can't get past the error message at this line: EP:=(qtreps(0)*100)/close(0);
Have you managed to translate that yet?
I haven't been able to translate John Sugas' CCI scan, either. This one:

Println Symbol:-7,description:-38," Prev.C: ",close(0):7:3," QRS:",j:3:0," CCI(13)= ",a:4:3
endif
If we can get just one of these floating point scans done, then the others should be easy enough. Any ideas, Andy? John? Bill R.? Of course I tried the usual suspects, semicolons, along with some semiotics, but nothin' worked.
In updating Metastock files, one problem surfaced. For some reason, I can't output !DJ30 or !DJ15 properly. In the MS directory, both wind up being named !DJ. Has Gary said anything about changes with indexes (indices) or any problems with them?
