Gary,

A request for the next version (hopefully soon):

A function to allow input from the keyboard into variables. I would find this REALLY useful. If it already exists, I'd love to know how to find it. I've looked all over.

p.s. How about the virtual program for NT too?

Thanks for a great product.

Gary,

Does any one scan Metastock files with Supercharts? Is there any way to tell Supercharts to scan more than one directory at a time?

Yes. The ChartScanner setup allows the user to specify which workspaces to scan, and each workspace can contain several charts. Each chart, however, can only reference one MetaStock directory, so is limited to 255 symbols.

QPv2 bug? Max(0, NumDays ,hi) can not contain
a variable like NumDays in this example?

QPv2 users, please help me out. I've been
trying to 'fix' this

Syntax error: Day value must be less <= 0

for hours and can't find the solution.

Here's the scan I'm writing:

//JVH stock data Scan by JVH
input = "jvh-stocks-in.lst";
output = "jvh-stocks-out.lst";

Float EMA17, EMA50, EMA200;
Integer NumDays;

DaysToLoad(250);

if DaysLoaded < 200 then // Less than 200 days of data available
EMA17 :=EMovAvg(0,17,cl);
EMA50 :=EMovAvg(0,50,cl);
NumDays:=((DaysLoaded-1)*-1);
Println DaysLoaded,",", NumDays, ",", Max(0, NumDays ,hi);
else // At least 200 days of data available
EMA17 :=EMovAvg(0,17,cl);
EMA50 :=EMovAvg(0,50,cl);
EMA200 :=EMovAvg(0,200,cl);
Println symbol, "," , Description, "," , close(0), ",", AvgVol(0,-29), "," , IRLSymbol, ",", QRS(0), ",", Max(0,-249,hi), ",", EMA17, ",", EMA50, ",", EMA200, ",", EMA50*1.3, ",", EMA200*1.7;
endif;

If you run this you get the following error:

Syntax error: Day value must be less <= 0

for the line:

Println DaysLoaded,",", NumDays, ",", Max(0, NumDays ,hi);

So you might think that NumDays is not a negative value,
but it is!

If you debug this by replacing the Println line with:

Println DaysLoaded,",", NumDays, ",", NumDays;

The scan prints the negative values of NumDays!
Like this: -155

Any help is would be really appreciated!

Johan
