Dear Peter, This is the letter that i have sent to the WOW tech support staff. Reads as follows: Giving you a simple formula that I use: Enter Long: (mov(c,3,s)>mov(c,10,s) Here's exactly what I do. Ipull up a stock under "new stocks"...then I go to the chart screen and go under the $ indicator. I create the new string that I want to use as a "system template". Test the string, then go to file and select "save as". When the next screen appears, I select save as "template" and then hit save new. It is usually successful, but sometimes it saves as an indicator only in the template box. When it is saved as a "(Sys)", I go to the scan, hit securities, pull up the new template and hit OK. Here's my results: Dressbarn Sell @ 46.44 --true price First Am Fin Sell @46.44 --not true--note alphabetical Firstplus Fin Sell @46.44 sequence--the way Ford Sell @46.44 they're in my system Intel Sell @ 71.44 I also entered the formula that you shared with me, and I got 10 stocks in alphabetical order, all with the same price, as above. This only happens with custom strings, not with the packaged strings. BTW, I use Prof 5,0 32 bit. Could you possibly solve this nasty problem--waiting for tech support to reply? Thanks for your help, if possible. Josie
