What am I doing wrong in this "OR" Scan ?

Rodger

When I run this scan... [type = stock] and [ADX line(14) > 40.0 ] and [ PPO Line(12,26,9) < -3.0 ] and [ Volume > 999,999 ] and [today's close > 15 ] and [ exchange = nasd ] or [ exchange = nyse ] or [ exchange = amex ] .... I get 999+ "results" including adx lines all over the place, ppo lines all over the place, stocks with volumes under and over 999,999, and penny stocks along with those over $15??? The only thing working are the exchanges and stocks ? I used a "published" scan with no problems... Any advice would be welcomed... Thanx Rodger

Common mistake, you just need an extra set of brackets to contain the "OR" conditions. Without the extra brackets the scan looks for your criteria in the NASD, but then will accept any stock in the NYSE or any stock in the AMEX.


[type = stock]
and [ADX line(14) > 40.0 ]
and [ PPO Line(12,26,9) < -3.0 ]
and [ Volume > 999,999 ]
and [today's close > 15 ]
and [ [ exchange = nasd ] or [ exchange = nyse ] or [ exchange = amex ] ]
