  <SPAN 
  class=542545113-12092003>ron, to expand a bit on jayson's reply, I agree that 
  the problems you're seeing are just minor syntax errors, really common when 
  you're getting started, nothing major.
  <SPAN 
  class=542545113-12092003> 
  <SPAN 
  class=542545113-12092003>first off, every line of AFL code has to end with a 
  semicolon. you might have them in your actual code, but they weren't 
  consistent in your emails, so I thought I'd mention it.
  <SPAN 
  class=542545113-12092003> 
  <SPAN 
  class=542545113-12092003>second, PDI and MDI are functions, so a pair of 
  parentheses is always required after them, as in PDI(). between the parens is 
  where you put the period to use, if you want to override the defaults, like 
  PDI(14). they both do have default periods that get used if you don't say 
  otherwise, so you can leave the period itself out, but not the 
  parens.
  <SPAN

      Try this:   
      Buy=cross(pdi,mdi);   < the pdi crosses mdi from below as it 
      moves upward.    
      <FONT face=Arial

      <pdi crosses mdi from above.

        adx/dmi
        I've been trying to work with the built in adx/dmi line 
        and have found that the +cross (+DI going above -DI) has been rather 
        predictive of stocks that I have made money on.  Conversely, 
        when there is a -cross (-DI going above +DI) I have routinely lost 
        money despite the fact that other indicators had not recommended a 
        sell.  What I would like is to be able to do a scan for times 
        when there is a cross.  I tried to modify the built in file 
        with:    Buy = cross (pd, md)    
        Sell = cross (md, pd) and I kept getting a syntax error pointing to 
        the second "l" in "sell".I then tried:    
        Buy = ValueWhen( Cross( pd, md ))    Sell = 
        ValueWhen( Cross( md, pd ));again, getting the same syntax 
        error.Any help in automating this process would be much appreciated 
        as I think that this may be a very effective tool for narrowing down 
        my stock list for potentially high profit 
        buys.Thanks,ron------------------------ Yahoo!
