Inside Bar Scanner Stops Working After 1 Day

[mn16425]

Hi All,

Hope everyone is hanging in there.

I'm looking for help with an issue I've been experiencing with a custom inside bar scanner. In short, I've created an inside bar pattern to identify inside bars. My goal is to use this weekly to identify inside set ups, typically on the weekly time frame.

Using a video I found on this forum, I created a pattern (

). From there I was able to successfully use the scanner, which pulled inside bar results accurately.

The issue that I've now come across is that the scanner stops working after a day or so. Rather than isolating the inside bars from my personalized watchlist, it just spits out all of the stocks from that watchlists -most of which are not in an inside bar pattern. I've restarted the process a few times and this has happened three times now. Below is the code. I'd really appreciate any ideas:

def IsUp = close > open;
def IsDown = close < open;
def IsDoji = IsDoji();
def avgRange = 0.05 * Average(high - low, 20);
plot PatternPlot =
((Sum(IsUp, 1)[1] >= 0)) and
((Sum(IsUp, 1)[0] >= 0)) and
Highest(high[1], 1) >= Highest(high[0], 1) and
Lowest(low[1], 1) <= Lowest(low[0], 1);

PatternPlot.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_POINTS);
PatternPlot.SetDefaultColor(CreateColor(51, 255, 255));

@mn16425 If you are populating a Watchlist from a StockHacker Scan you will probably need to Edit the Watchlist and Delete the entries every day... I wrote a Scan for another member a couple of weeks ago and that was what I had to instruct him to do in order to eliminate the older Scan results...
