Hello from a new member with questions about scans.

I spent quite a while last night looking through the past messages on this thread (and decided to become a member today). I want to thank everyone for all the information I found. I recently started using QUOTES PLUS and I hope someone can assist me in a couple of areas.

I would like to 'back test' some of my ideas and can't seem to get the LOOP()function to do what I thought it would. I would like to scan the history of specified issues and have the scan return the dates and results of each true occurrence. Here is the scan I have been trying;

//Scan for Stochastic switch on up volume

Integer A,K,D
A:=0 //A= Day to start search loop
K:=14 //K=%K parameter
D:=3 //D=%D parameter

Input "test.lst" //Use established list file
Set Stochastic=K,D //Set Stochastic parameters

Loop(A-1,A-90) //Set Loop
AllGroup //Set to all results
//Scan
Vol(0)>Vol(0-1) //Check volume
StochasticPctK(0)>50
StochasticPctK(0)>StochasticPctD(0) //%K>%D today
StochasticPctK(0-1)<StochasticPctD(0-1) //%K<%D yesterday

//Print results
Println symbol:6,Date(0):12,StochasticPctK(0):8:3,StochasticPctD(0):8:3

It only returns one occurrence for each issue, even when I know there are others. If I change the AllGroup to AnyGroup I only get the most current result (usually today).

Any help would be appreciated on this LOOP() function.
Thanks and happy trading
