Brooke, I am trying to incorporate Bob Jagow's slope formula into a scan I'm doing and need some of your expert help. If I want to identify stocks whose 21-day linregslope is greater than the prior day, and I want to run the scan for, say, the last 10 trading days, how do I modify Bob's scan (which I've already adjusted to 21 days from 14):

issuetype common;
Daystoload=50; //needed for R2 bug!!!
integer i, S, Sx, Sxx;
float b, Sxy, Sy;
S := 21;
Sx := 0;
Sxx := 0;
Sxy := 0;
Sy := 0;
for i = 1 - S to 0 do
Sx := Sx + i;
Sy := Sy + close(i); //kills println wo d2ld
Sxx := Sxx + i*i;
Sxy := Sxy + i*close(i); //kills println wo d2ld
//Sxy := Sxy + i*close(0);
next i;
b := (S*Sxy - Sx*Sy)/(S*Sxx - Sx*Sx);

Thanks in advance, Jan

Brookelise - I love your humor,

I'm one of those lurkers who never posts - don't seem to have enough
time, but I think that is about to change. I just want to say that your humor is offbeat but highly enjoyable.

Brookelise:

Your sense of humor is absolutely delightful and refreshing!

Your unending generosity is greatly appreciated.

I, too, am having difficulties with some of the scans downloaded from the QP Scan web site (see James Parker [5126]). Your response (5130) is most helpful as it is, for me, a close race as to which is more challenging -- writing scans or reading the market! :-)

Question: would the "input needs changing" information also work on the BNS with MACd trigger scan when the error message says "Could not open the input file" for portfoli.lst ?

Also, if the error message says "Scan syntax error, unexpected letter" and the cursor is highlighting a certain letter, is the problem what it is pointing to? (e.g. Cooper scan by Richard highlights the s in scan as it shows S instead of s)

I'm a long-time Macintosh user :-) and am new to Windows 95 and unclear how everything works in this arena. ( Need to do some studying in this format.)

Thank you,

leahjan
