1. Let's say you've found a filter that has some chart indicator displays that you really like but some of your watchlist stocks don't come up when the filter is run for anyone of a variety of reasons.
a. First step is to view the filter in its Forum thread
b. then click on one of the 3 charts that show up under the filter.
c. Go to top left corner of the chart display, highlight the stock name and replace with one of the stock names from your watchlist.
d. Hit the Chart box and the chart will be replaced with a chart of your stock with all of the same indicators drawn as the filter intended to include the unique filter calculated indicators that were drawn.
Essentially you are running a display filter without having to modify the filter code...
2..Below you can try it on Mac's latest Guppy filter:

Thanks for sharing Ed.
So, does that mean that the filters aren't "fetching" stocks that it is supposed to fetch?
If so, I've noticed this as well and as a newb...wasn't sure why it was the case.

IMHO
The filter is catching the stocks that its designed to by the criteria I wrote it for. If you have a stock that doesn't show up. Go to tools / chart+ / type in stock . It will tell you why it didn't show up . Like AAPL has a lower Average Day range(30) than 5.00

@sandjco,
1. No, it doesn't mean filters are not returning the stocks that meet their criteria. If you have one that is not finding the stocks you are expecting post it and a couple of the stocks that you believe should be in the results and I'll try and figure out why SF isn't producing those symbols in the Results list.
2. To demonstrate the nuance I was posting about click on 1 of the charts that pop up in this thread for the below simple filter and then type in AAPL and click chart and you should see a chart of AAPL with all of the same filter indicators showing updated for AAPL data.
3. To show the CHART+ nuance that Mac posted about, save the below simple filter to your saved filters list, then choose CHART+ from either the Tools menu or the bottom of the SF webpage:
a. then replace the stock name in the chart box with AAPL.
b. Scroll down the list of your saved filters on the left until you see the one for the below simple filter
c. The box to the right of that filter name should should show a red No and a red X
d. click on that filter line and you should see a list of that filter statements that SF has determined are excluding AAPL from showing up and also a list of that filter's statements that AAPL does meet.
(Note if you have a lot of saved filters it may take a minute for SF to process the entire list)
4. Another handy feature of this Chart+ filter list is the top right corner where it gives us a total number of our saved filters that would have AAPL in their Results list, along with a total count of the individual filter statements that are met by AAPL data
5. All of the times I've used Chart+ in the past I never noticed that additional filter debug capability, so thanks to Mac for pointing it out for all of us!
Hope this helps,
Ed S.
