Webb,
Forget my "If Max(0, -5, Cl) > 0 then" [it was the work of an earlier, immature mind :o)], but you probably do want to filter on average vol and price in the 'common' scan.
Try something like gonzongo's "scans which I update weekly- One is called 300vol which has stocks basically over 300 k in volume and over $10. The other is called small cap which has about 1000 symbols which covers stocks over 25k in volume and over $5- The two files are basically mutually exclusive. I then run all my scans with those two files as "input files"."
In the 'common'template I use, his 1st scan would be
-----------------
IssueType Common; //No warrants or Pfd
float minVol, maxVol, minCl, maxCl;
integer bar,lenVolMA;
bar := 0; // for checking past values
lenVolMA := 30;
minCl := 10; // Set here ************
maxCl := 1000;
minVol := 300; // Set here in K *******
minVol := 1000*minVol;
maxVol := 100000; // Set here in K *******
maxVol := 1000*minVol;
output = "300+Vol.lst"; // Rename to match the K setting****
daystoload = 2200;
DaysRequired = lenVolMA+1; // Will also screen out newer issues
If MovAvg(0, 20, cl) >= minCl then
If MovAvg(0,lenVolMA,vol) > minVol then
If MovAvg(0,lenVolMA,vol) < maxVol then
Println symbol,",",date(bar),",",MovAvg(bar,lenVolMA,vol):8:3,",",
SIC,",",DaysLoaded;
endif; endif; endif;
---------------
[The extra fields are added as potential sorts.]
and you would set
------------------
minCl := 5;
minVol := 25;
maxVol := 300;
output = "25-300Vol.lst";
-----------------
to get his 2nd. -Bob |
