I am getting a nonsensical calculation for a 10 day average of adx. What am I doing wrong? Output="5 my scan.lst"; ProcessMS="D:\meta\backtesth\",VMS; IssueType Common; adx(0)>=adx(-1) and adx(0)>movavg(0,10,adx) then println Symbol , " , " , " Close: " , Close(0) , " , " , " ADX: " , adx(0) , " , " , " ADX-10 day avg: " , movavg(0,10,adx) , description; endif;

g, Looks interesting; probably not surprising that the extremes do worse -- isn't that also the case for P/E scans? I want to modify the scan to account for missing qtrrev #s and run a Prosearch for comparison, but am off to car shop -- may get to it tonite. Bob

>> The best slice of the pie was from Pr to Sales of 2.01 to 6.0 wherein average returns for 1997 we consistently more than 30%. From 6.0 to 30 results were in line with the total as well as from 0.76 to 2.0 but the extremes below .76 and above 30 had subpar results. the 495 stocks with pr to sales from 0.01 to 0.25 had a negative 10.61% average return. << Gonzongo, now you have me worried. This is a large difference from the results I obtained. My results showed the best results were obtained in the fifth and sixth decile, a PSR range of 1.25 to 2.2. I will go back and check my results.
