Inaccurate Results

I wrote a scan which appears to return the exact results I want however, when I select "starting trading days" and enter a number the returned results are not correct. What might I be doing wrong? Thanks.

    The scan engine return symbols that meet your conditions, but then displays the charts for those symbols as of the CURRENT date, NOT the date you specified as a start date.

    If you modify your chart style with the start/end option under the chart on the chart workbench so that the chart ends on the specified start date, you should see that the scan conditions are met.

    Alternatively, you could leave the current date chart as is and use the crosshairs to look at the scan start date.
  • I got it, makes sense. Thanks.
