This scan doesn't work because CCI is not a valid token, I assume. input="prescan.lst"; output= "cci.lst"; integer a; a:=0; Set CCI = 50; if CCI(a)> max(a-10,a-200,CCI) then println symbol; endif; Question: Is CCI not a "valid token" because Gary hasn't programmed it as such or is the reason because of a characteristic, in contrast to something like ROC or RSI? Is there a way to approach this, like with for/do? I'll go get a better grip on loops if someone thinks it will pay off in this area. thanks

I can already do a lot with the current features and I am gaining time with the faster 2.1. But the more I use it, the more features I would like to see. To start with, I will certainly welcome the possibility to read more information from a list than just the symbol name. This feature will be implemented. We don't comment on schedules anymore. What are your plans about the new display interface (where the data window would be sizeable in order to trace all the values)? Do you plan to include more mathematical functions as a standard feature to the scan (log, ln, power, roots, ...) or are they already available in a way or another? The new interface will include a complete financial spreadsheet with all of these standard math functions. Quite a few are implemented now, we'll have another cut shortly. Could SAR be implemented as a standard function? I wanted to get this in the last release, but ran out of time. It will also get implemented. I think that for the most part, the Financial Studio will replace the scan program, but a lot of you want the current scan program to do more - back testing etc, so if there's enough demand, it could evolve as a separate entity, although it's focus should be more on system testing/back testing.
