Follow these steps to enable OmniScan to store more historical technical data:

1. Close OmniTrader and Browse to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Nirvana Systems. For Vista users it will be in the C:\Users\Public\Nirvana Systems folder.

2. Open the Nirvana.ini file.

3. Add a line just below [OmniScan] that reads NumBarsCached=500

The file will look similar to this:
[OmniData]
MaintenanceTimeouts=0
EasyToUser=True
LastAdminMsgId=4
LastAdminMsgDate=09/21/2006 00:00:00
Path=C:\Program Files\Nirvana\OmniData
[OmniScan]
NumBarsCached=500

4. Click Save and close the file.

5. Open OmniTrader and run your To Do List with Download OmniData and Update OmniScan checked. Note: It may take longer than usual since more data is being cached.

6. The technical criteria in your scan will also need to be edited. So while a current scan may look liks this...

MA_XOCOUNT(14,100) <= 60

a historical scan would like this:

MA_XOCOUNT(14,100)[250] <= 60
