Monty, Just comment out the input file for now if you want to see the results. Many people develop a scan to "pre scan" the market and collect a subset of stocks to do further scans against. You might for example only be interested in stocks between 10$ and 60$ with average daily volume greater than 50,000. Run such a scan once a week or so and you will cut your universe of stocks to perform subsequent scans down to a more manageable number. I'm sure the input file "Volume.lst" was the author's personal implementation of the above... Michael

Could not open the input file Volume.lst Dennis, you probably do not have a list file named "volume.lst". I run this prescan that creates the file "volume.lst" that prescans for stocks above a certain daily volume level. Run this first and it will create the file for you. Change the volume to whatever you want. output = "Volume.lst"; input="Common Stock List.lst"; issuetype common; DaystoLoad = 500; DaysRequired=201; integer V; V:= 500000; If AvgVol(0,-30) >= V and Vol(0) > V //Sic != 6726 and // exclude closed ends //Sic != 6798 // exclude REITs then Println Symbol; endif;
