I believe in this example TS is looking today to see if Variable 1 is true or false, and determining that Variable 1 where C > 100 is FALSE. Then TS looks at the 2nd variable which resulted in some NUMBER, and TS looks back to see how many times the 1st variable was false on a given day AND on that same day the numerical value of my second variable is also equal to what it is Today. assume that today my 1st variable is false which it will be, and my numerical result of todays 2nd variable is 5. then TS looks for how many days in the past both variable 1 was false and the result of my variable 2 equals 5 on the same day. I'm like Jim, that 2nd variable bothers me some in looking for a past match, but if i'm wrong somebody please speak up. I'm still have no answer for why when i create a 2nd Focus List that consists only of 1 symbol for the same security PCS in my example....then when running C > 100 as the only variable i get only 95 occurences. This really puzzles me. Bill |
