I have created a filter that returns incorrect values for 2 of the user-created variables, but then somehow returns the correct final number, which uses the 2 erroneous values in the calculation. The only thing I can figure is that the program has the correct number on the back end, but is displaying an incorrect value on the graphic. The code:
Show stocks where market is not etf
and market is not otc
and the average volume(50) > 250000
and the close is between 5 and 20
and beta is above 1
set{nearest,roc(20)}
set{r1,nearest*10}
set{mid,roc(90)}
set{r2,mid*1.5}
set{r3,roc(125)}
set{r4,roc(250)}
set{ind1,r1+r2}
set{ind2,ind1+r3}
set{ind3,ind2+r4}
set{roc_index,ind3/4}
add column roc_index
add column nearest
add column r1
add column r2
add column r3
add column r4
and roc(90) > 0
and market cap is > 200
and market cap is below 10000
Notice that the output for columns r1 and r2 are incorrect. Yet the roc_index column is correct, which would be impossible if it used the r1 and r2 values it displays in the roc_index formula.
I made a replica of this script that does display the correct r1 and r2 values, the only difference being that i used 3-character names for the variables. But this wouldn't explain why the r2 and r3 columns were correct, or why the roc_index output was correct.
