How did you think to counterpoint the two loops? Nothing else seemed to work. The price and "sharkhigh" loops had to work independently, so the scan could give the dates when price closed above the high point ("sharkhigh") in the shark pattern days after the high point had been set. I suspect someone will be able to come up with a simpler way to do it. It's the combination of the two loops that slows down the scan, so I hope someone can devise a better solution. That's all I can advise: surmise, devise and revise. The crossover days are all that matters, to me anyway. Heck, I was happy with just the "today is a crossover day" first draft. Unfortunately, the first draft didn't identify when today was the crossover day. It identified today as one day, perhaps among many, when price continued to be above "sharkhigh." The crossover could have occurred up to 25 days ago. So it wasn't an ideal scan. Fast yes. But "they stumble that run fast." Brooke
