Hello Don...
I've got your screen working and it's going to take a few minutes to walk
through the all the tickers. It's producing a select list of stocks
representing an IBD strategy which goes BUY HIGH and (hopefully) SELL HIGHER.
I've found that this works in an uptrending market, but then a lot of
approaches work in an uptrending market including
TA with moving averages. Note that HANS is still there although it's story may
be over.
You may want to clear your watchlist before you fill it with a new issues from
different screen. Here are two clips from my
stuff that I use.
Write it so that you clear the watchlist only once, and not at every issue in
the filter list; and so you'll need
to gate it with a Status("Action") == 4 and Status("Stocknum") == 0 as tests.
See in the second clip.
Hope this helps - careful or you'll clear the wrong watchlist.
JOE
// ============================= Clip 1
===============================================
function ClearaWatchlist( listnum )
{
// retrieve comma-separated list of symbols in watch list
list = CategoryGetSymbols( categoryWatchlist, listnum );
for( i = 0; ( sym = StrExtract( list, i ) ) != ""; i++ )
{
CategoryRemoveSymbol(sym,categoryWatchlist,Listnum);
}
return;
}
// testing program
Clearawatchlist(1);
Filter =1;
AddColumn(Close,"Name");
// =============================== second clip with
===============================
// But do this only once as you scan or explore SCAN code is 3 EXPLORE code
is 4
if ( Status( "action" ) == 4 AND Status( "stocknum" ) == 0 ) // running a
scan and it's the first stock
{
// clear Watchlists used to store composite symbols of QP Sector Runs
ClearList = GetCategorySymbols(categoryWatchlist, WL);
for( i = 0; ( symC = StrExtract(ClearList, i) ) != ""; i++ )
{
CategoryRemoveSymbol( symC, categoryWatchlist, WL );
}
}

Jim and Joe and Group,
I got fascinated by your ideas and started doing a bit of playing
around. Came up with an Adjustable Exploration that automatically saves to a
Watchlist . Hope you find this useful.
Code follows, just cut and paste into Formula Window.
// I have adapted this AFL from one that Joe Landry posted recently.
// Here is an Exploration that allows you to use Quotes Plus extra data
to scan for
// IBD like rising stocks, and automatically put them into a Watchlist.
You have the
// ability to tailor your Parameters each time you run the Exploration
by choosing the
// Parameters button in Auto Analysis Screen.
// If you look at how the code is structured I am sure you can make
many useful
// modifications for your own use.
// Enjoy, Don Lindberg
EPSRank=GetExtraData("epsrank");
QRSRank=GetExtraData("qrs");
ROE=GetExtraData("ROE");
Qprank = EPSRank+QRSRank+RSI(10) ;
Ep=Param( "EPS Rank", 85, 75, 100, 1);
Qp=Param( "QRS Rank", 85, 75, 100, 1);
Re=Param( "ROE",15,10,1000,1);
Rs=Param( "RSI",75,60,100,1);
Score = Filter= C>10 AND MA(V,10)>150000 AND EPSRank>ep AND ROE>re AND
QRSRank >qp AND RSI(10)>rs;
If (LastValue(Score))
{
CategoryAddSymbol( "", categoryWatchlist, 22 ); // Put your own
Watchlist number in here.
}
AddColumn(Close,"close",1.2);
AddColumn(qprank," QPR",1.2);
AddColumn (EPSRank," EPS Rank",1.2);
AddColumn (QRSRank," QRS Rank",1.2);
AddColumn (ROE," ROE",1.2);
AddColumn (RSI(10) ," RSI",1.2);
AddColumn (Volume," Volume",1.0);
AddColumn (MACD() ,"MACD" ,1.2);
AddColumn (ADX() ,"ADX",1.);

Jim - This works, and it's a case of where IIF is not used. You're not
operating on arrays and I think you want to control the flow of the AFL
code.
To try it out select for a filter a market (eg NASDAQ) and select 1 bar
for the range, run Explore

qprank = GetExtraData("epsrank")+GetExtraData("qrs")+RSI(6) ;
score = Filter= C>4 AND MA(V,11)>150000 AND qprank > 200;
if (LastValue(Score))
{
CategoryAddSymbol( "", categoryWatchlist, 7 );
}
AddColumn(qprank,"QPR");
AddColumn(Close,"close",1.2);
AddColumn (Volume,"volume",1.0);
AddColumn (MACD() ,"macd" ,1.2);
AddColumn (ADX() ,"adx",1.);

thanks but i already tried that one, it did not work
either. the results were the same as my other method
in that all the common stocks go into the watchlist.
