This is sooo weird! With this formula
//SetTradeDelays( 1, 1, 1, 1 ); TimeFrameSet( in15Minute); test = C>2.3; TimeFrameRestore(); C15_1 = TimeFrameCompress( Close, in15Minute, compressOpen ); //BuyPrice = TimeFrameExpand (C5,in5Minute,expandFirst); Buy = test; Sell=C>50; scanned on a stock which was over 2.30 and under 10 from September 2007 until now, there is absolutely no signal.. until 2008-02-12 at 14:45 and then there is a signal every 15-minute bar... So weird!!
