Ed,
By looking at your results....and the image file...where is the buy
arrow...I do not see it on the chart....also, I do not believe the scan
should be picking up Mutual funds...Mutual funds do not report Open ,
High and Low figures...do they ?
Check this:
While in the AA window..click on Settings....and in the General
window...See if PERIODICITY is set to DAILY, then run the scan
again.....
