Wealth-Lab 6 offered a way to create a screener (Section 12.1 in the Programming Guide). Is there a way to create screeners in WL 7? While I'm at it, will the Programming Guide be converted into 7? Thanks!

Yes, of course. Suppose you wanted to translate the WealthScript Programming Guide example of V6:
CODE:
protected override void Execute() { int bar = Bars.Count - 1; // the last chart bar number if (bar < 199) return; // chart must have at least 200 bars to continue if ( Close[bar] > SMA.Value(bar, Close, 200) && Lowest.Value(bar, ROC.Series(Close, 5), 200) > -20 && SMA.Value(bar, Volume, 20) > 100000 && RSI.Series(Close, 10)[bar] < 50 ) BuyAtMarket(bar + 1); }


In WL7 you would come up with this code then:
CODE:
//execute the strategy rules here, this is executed once for each bar in the backtest history public override void Execute(BarHistory bars, int idx) {          if (idx < bars.Count - 1) return; // run only on the last bar...          if (idx < 199) return; // chart must have at least 200 bars to continue           if (bars.Close[idx] > SMA.Value(idx, bars.Close, 200)           && Lowest.Value(idx, ROC.Series(bars.Close, 5), 200) > -20           && SMA.Value(idx, bars.Volume, 20) > 100000           && RSI.Series(bars.Close, 10)[idx] < 50          )             PlaceTrade(bars, TransactionType.Buy, OrderType.Market); }

The WL7 code is missing a statement to make it a screener...
CODE:
public override void Execute(BarHistory bars, int idx) {       if (idx < bars.Count - 1) return; // run only on the last bar... .. the rest as above
