Hallo Wolfgang! Thanks for the answer! I tested late nite a little bit with my original version (used the 111fast.lst as input) and added things like rising stoch (55,21) and QRS>75 and avgvol>1000 to it and found that only about 5 stocks ended up as a result if i scan for a 4 day period.The stocks almost fulfilled what i was looking for and i will observe them to test what will happen to them. Of course you discovered a logical problem in my setup if i understand your answer right. My reference was to the mov of today or yesterday. But over the last 7 days this moving average was moving and therefore i need to compare it to the MA's of the respective days in the past. My scan gives more a rule of thumb and is incorrect in it's logic. Since i want that the price hugs the 50 ma in a plusminus 2-3%range i would take your lower example ... cl(-1) >=movAvg(-1,50,cl).98 cl(-2) >=movAvg(-2,50,cl).98 . . cl(-7) >=movAvg(-7,50,cl).98 ...and write it out for every day. And since i also want a max above the moving average i also need... C(-1) <= movAvg(-1,50,cl)1.02 etc. correct?? Thanks for your help! Vielen Dank und Tschuess! Stefan
