Sorry. The settings were wrong. I didn't realize that the setting were for
both the scan and the backtest and because everything was working ok as an
indicator I assumed that they would scan as well. I did not look at the
settings. .I will do more testing as well.
Forward progress (baby steps) is being made each day. I like the program.

Subject: Re: [amibroker] Beginer question on Automatic Analysis
Check in AA settings that you have the correct time peiod selected. AA
does ot work off the screen chart settings
Are you sure the arrows are plotted in correct places as ther are some
parts missing from the plotshapes line. I don't mean on the correct
bar but location on Yaxis
