Graham,

I 'm trying to use an IF statement for the following intraday scan, but it does not work.  It ask for a numeric variable and I don't know what to use besides IF statements.  From the code example you provided, this is what I came up.  I'm trying to make the scan run only after StartTime and only the current day.

StartTime = 094500 ;
IF (dayStart > StartTime)
{
buy = Cross ( H, OR30high )
}

thanks for the help

tony
