I must be dreaming. VIDYA for Quotes Plus! I'm going to celebrate this one with champagne. Do you really have a variable moving average in there? Is it the real VIDYA, with the recursive formula and all? I see you're working with these: vidyab:= vidyay; vidyay:= vidya; vidya := a * close(d) + ( 1 - a ) * vidyay; Do these take VIDYA back far enough, or are you starting only a couple of days back? If you've got VIDYA, though, Richard has to see this. Here's toasting an astounding accomplishment, Jeff. Brooke

Jeff: I wonder about the VIDYA scan. It raises the same issue as the DMI scan; namely, does its moving average have a "memory" of the historical data, and the historical values of VIDYA? Those values affect the present values of VIDYA. Wouldn't your VIDYA be based only on recent closing prices? Do you have Metastock? Have you compared the VIDYA values generated by your scan with those in Metastock? You could use Excel, too, but not WOW, unfortunately. Brooke
