Why
is it that results of screening with screener andTHRU watch list are
different even though i used the same rule i.e. close >
1.02*sma(200). Watchlist returned only 3 results BOI HINDALO AND JSW
STEEL. WHEREAS SCREENER RETURNED MANY??? and that too of these many stocks there are a no of stocks which do not qualify the screener condition one example is bank of maharashtra its 200sma is 48.8 and close is 54.2 thats way above 2% its just one example infact there are many such examples mahindara life is not shown in EITHER SCREENING (WATCH LIST AND SCREENER )WHEREAS ITS 200SMA IS 377AND CLOSE IS 406 SO ITS MORE THEN 2% AS MENTIONED IN SCREENER THEN HOW COME IT WAS EXCLUDED IN EITHER SCREENING????? GLENMARK AS EXCLUDED CANT FIGURE OUT WHY THESE DISCREPANCIES.? MAY BE A BUG OR 2 STILL PRESENT????????????????
I HOPE THESE DISCREPANCIES WILL BE LOOKED IN TO PROMPTLY AS USUAL.

I have tested the "close > 1.02*sma(200)" rule on both screener and watchlist and get exactly the same results. 679 stocks as of 21/05/2010.
Make sure that you have specified the same settings. In watchlist, set the "Display symbols that pass the rules" option to "for the last: one day".

The 200-bar SMA of Bank of Maharashtra is 48.8 and its close price is 54.2 and therefore the "close > 1.02*sma(200)" is True.
There are no bugs or discrepancies between the watchlist and screener plugins.
