RadarScreen questions

A couple of questions re RadarScreen running on
Intel MoBo, P4 2.4, 512 ram: seems to choke on
too many symbols, funny thing is when I had 450
symbols in there it worked but would not respond
to a filter on about 25 issues. Now I have about
325 issues in there and it does not respond to
the filter on about 50 issues. 

The filter uses a bollinger band. I can put the
bollinger band on a chart and it calculates the
same as if I use the same parameters in Qcharts.
When used in the filter in the radarscreen I am
getting some bad results.

The filter is looking for issues with increasing
volatility that are on a bit of a run-up.

The filter code is as follows:


Inputs: TrueColor(Green), FalseColor(Red); 
Variables: Filter(""); 

If BollingerBand(C,20,2)
>BollingerBand(C,20,2)[1] 
	and C >BollingerBand(C,20,2)
	and C >O 
	and C[1] >O[1]
	and C >C[1]
	then Begin
	Filter = "T";
	If TrueColor <> -1 Then
		Plot1(Filter, "T/F", default, TrueColor)
	Else
		Plot1(Filter, "T/F");
End
Else Begin
	Filter = "F";
	If FalseColor <> -1 Then
		Plot1(Filter, "T/F", default, FalseColor)
	Else
		Plot1(Filter, "T/F");
End;


The Radarscreen is giving me true on some issues
where I can plot the bollinger band from the same
function used in the Radarscreen filter and I can
see that the issue has never gone above the top
band for today's bar. Also some of the cells in
the radarscreen are not green or red, they are
white!!

I don't get this.
