It looks like there were a couple of problems with the posted script (I will try to fix them in the blog post too so that noone else runs into this). Here's a working version: myVal:= WB_SYMBOLLOOKUP('C:\\myData\\Top50GIR.xlsx', 'Values'); cond1:= myVal == 1; cond2:= COUNT(cond1, 80) >= 20; event: c...

A script will be run automatically in weekly mode if it is placed onto a weekly chart and monthly if placed on a monthly chart, but what if you want to have the script always run in Weekly or Monthly mode regardless of the chart it is placed on? The way to do that is to have the 'Period Independent'...

To generate a script which uses weekly or monthly data instead of data you can use the technique discussed here:

I haven't been able to reproduce the error you mentioned. If you can reproduce, please post the exact steps.

BTW, the symbol for $SPX on Yahoo is ^GSPC

The symbol for OR is | Take a look at the system scan named 'IanPctB Sell' to see an example B:= FML('IanPctB()[B]'); BW:= FML('IanPctB()[BW]'); FI:= FML('ForceIndex(13)[FI]'); Cond1:= (B - Ref(B, 1)) <= -.12; Cond2:= B <= 1.2; Cond3:= FI <= 0; Cond4:= C < O; Cond5:= C < SMA(C,9); Cond6:= Count(Cros...

Hi Ed,

Do you have an example of a timing list that you want to use in Excel format? I would be interested to see it and test a new feature of loading such a list into the Entries and Exits tab.

Thanks,
Chris.

Hi John,

That's not currently possible because at the moment the entries and exits are generated via scripts. However I have been looking at the possibility of opening pre-saved Symbol/Date files into the Entries and Exits tab. This will give you what you are looking for. It's on my radar.

Chris.

One possible reason is that you don't have the second symbol in your current symbol list. Could that be the case?

The code compiles as you said but it does output the System line (which has values between 0 and 1). Try adding it to a new lower chart area to see that.

If you want other lines to output you need to replace the := with =

Chris.

The color code is in ARGB format (Alpha, Red, Green, Blue). The pattern is: #AARRGGBB So, in your example, #20808000 would break down like so: 20: Alpha (range 00-FF hex) Higher numbers are less transparent 80: Red (range 00-FF hex) 80: Green (range 00-FF hex) 00: Blue (range 00-FF hex) The followin...
