Adding some ifs speeds the scans up, too:

Longs:

//Shark-32, by Walter T. Downs,
//translated for QP2 by Brooke
output = "sharklong.lst";
input="volvol.lst";
//ProcessMS = "d:\meta\macdup\",VMS;

integer i, j;
float shark, apex, WB, fin, sharkhigh, symmetry;

for i = -24 to 0 step 1 do

symmetry:=.28;
apex:=(high(i)+low(i))/2;
WB:=range(i-2);

if apex<=(high(i-2)-(WB*Symmetry)) and
apex>=(low(i-2)+(WB*Symmetry)) then
fin:=1;
sharkhigh:=0;
if high(i)<high(i-1)and
low(i)>low(i-1) and
high(i-1)<high(i-2) and
low(i-1)>low(i-2) then
shark:=fin;
if shark=1 then
sharkhigh:=high(-2+i);
endif;

for j = 24 to 0 step -1 do

if shark=1 then
if sharkhigh>0 then
if i+j <=0 then
if close(i+j)>sharkhigh then
if close((i+j)-1)<sharkhigh then
println symbol,",", "Close: ", close(0):6:2,", ", "Change: ",
Close(0)-Close(-1):5:2, ", ", "Date: ", date(i+j),", ", "Sharkhigh: ",
sharkhigh; //date of buy signal
endif; endif; endif; endif; endif;
next j;

else
shark:=0;
endif;
else
fin:=0;
endif;

next i;
