Miles, The logic is straight. But I see faulty QP output; confusion when switching from wkly to dly in same scan (as I suspected). Check your CCI req. carefully on these from 5/4/99: AFFX,AFFYMETRIX INC OC-CAP STK,30dayvol 274230,high 2days ago,stoploss 41.125 BCOM,BANK COMM SAN DIEGO CALIF COM,30dayvol 77950,high 2days ago,stoploss 21.1875 MVIS,MICROVISION INC WASH COM,30dayvol 76766.6641,high 2days ago,stoploss 17.6875 RYL,RYLAND GROUP INC COM,30dayvol 77763.3359,high 2days ago,stoploss 26.25 Most of yesterdays 5/3 fell between coincident wkly & dly cracks. I think its a no can do in QP without a Jagownian patented 5 per lookback cumulation variable run in day mode; otherwise like trying to call multiple input/output lists. CP

Now that you mention it :) I had commented weekly; // okay?, but needed to change the backtest logic; the quick fix which gave the following says weekly; // won't really work :) I have appended the code -- one problem is whether QP does true weekly, another, which is probably fixable, is that day -19 will test week -19/5 => -3. How would reformulating the weekly test to a daily by ----- set MACD = 60,130,45 and if macd(tbar) > 0 and macd(tbar-5) > macd(tbar-10) and macd(tbar) < macd(tbar-5) then ----- grab you?
