Thanks Irwin, but it seems that few if any people there know how to run formulas in the advanced scans in Stockcharts either. If you read prior messages there, many people have already requested a better manual (including me) but the president of Chartsmarts (who presides over that bulletin board and can be quite intimidating to his users) either doesn't have the answer himself or hasn't got time to fix the problem. So, instead, he either ignores the requests or worse yet, simply lambasts you for bring up the shorcomings of his service.
Like other Chartsmanrt users, rather than tick him off any more and still get no where, I'll just continue to use my second vendor Stockfetcher for my scans, manually record the ones I am interested in and then contine to plug them into my charts list.
Darn, Stockcharts has such a great chart management site, a highly capable scan engine but no way of knowing how to program scan formulas, and no indications that this will change. What a pitty too, because if Chartsmarts can ever come up with a great scan manual or a better list of formulas, their site would be all anyone needs, and I would become their greatest advocate.
