// This scan finds candidates by the Weekly MACD Historgam slope, and the
// Daily 2 Period Force Index dipping above or below it's Zero Line. Plot a
// Weekly 26 Period EMA to
//
// help confirm the weekly direction. It should be rising along with an uptick
// on the Weekly MACD Histogram to go long. However, Elder writes that
// divergences in the MACD
//
// Histogram override the EMA. The Daily 2 Period Force Index will be below
// it's Zero Line. Look for the stock to pullback to around it's Daily 13
// Period EMA. Also use the
//
// Daily 22 Period EMA to confirm the direction of the daily trend. Do the
// opposite for shorts. Use the Long/Short EMA Weekly Direction Tabs as
// filters to cull through the
//
// scan to only display the Weekly EMA going in the intended trading
// direction. Use the Long/Short Elder Ray Tabs (BullPower AND BearPower) to
// fine tune the entry signals.
//
// This tab is best used when in agreement with the Long/Short EMA Weekly
// Direction Tabs. A 50 Period EMA > 100000 is used to Filter Volume. A
// minimum of a 5 point run in
//
// one Month is used as a Filter for a stock's range. This scan is best used
// as an Exploration.
