Brackets

Working on a new scan. This is not producing the results that I sure it should if I have arranged the brackets correctly. If you feel like looking at it with respect to how I have it bracketed or anything else that you might see, I would appreciate it very much.

[Favorites list is 9] and [[[Weekly MACD Line(12,26,9) > 0.0] and [Weekly MACD Line(12,26,9) > Weekly MACD Signal(12,26,9)] and [Weekly MACD Line(12,26,9) < Last week's MACD Line(12,26,9)] and [[MACD Hist(72,156,54) < 2 Day ago MACD Hist(72,156,54)] or [MACD Hist(72,156,54) < 0.0]] and [Close < Open*.996] and [High > SMA(20)] and [Max(3,Close) > Max(3,SMA(20))] and [1 Day ago MACD Hist(6,9,0) > 0.0]]

and [[[MACD Line(12,26,9) > 0.0] and [MACD Line(12,26,9) > MACD Signal(12,26,9)] and [MACD Line(12,26,9) < Yesterday's MACD Line(12,26,9)]]

or [[MACD Line(12,26,9) > 0.0] and [MACD Line(12,26,9) < MACD Signal(12,26,9)] and [MACD Line(12,26,9) < Yesterday's MACD Line(12,26,9)]]

or [[MACD Line(12,26,9) < 0.0] and [MACD Line(12,26,9) < MACD Signal(12,26,9)] and [MACD Line(12,26,9) < Yesterday's MACD Line(12,26,9)]]

or [[MACD Line(12,26,9) < 0.0] and [MACD Line(12,26,9) > MACD Signal(12,26,9)] and [MACD Hist(12,26,9) > Yesterday's MACD Hist(12,26,9)] or [MACD Hist(6,9,0) < 1 Day ago MACD Hist(6,9,0)]]]

Comments

  • Count up your Left [ and Right ] in each segment. They should be equal

    In the line:

    and [[[MACD Line(12,26,9) > 0.0] and [MACD Line(12,26,9) > MACD Signal(12,26,9)] and [MACD Line(12,26,9) < Yesterday's MACD Line(12,26,9)]]

    there are 5 [ and 4 ]

    I know you resist the idea, but formatting for clarity ( a separate line for each "and" statement and a separate line for each "or" bracket) and commenting each line or group of lines will 1- help you avoid mistakes in the first place and 2 - make it easier for others to help when you need it.
