Not me, please, Barry ;) Don't think anyone provides endofday bid-ask (some services do show the b/a if vol = 0). If you want to scan for stocks with big spreads (perhaps to avoid them), might try looking for those that often close at the hi or low. Not sure of the best way, for R2 maybe ----- output = "bigspreads.lst"; issuetype common; integer i, hits; hits:= 0; for i = -20 to 0 do if close(i) = low(i) or close(i) = high(i) then hits:= hits +1; endif; next i; If hits > 10 then println symbol,",",hits; endif; --------- Display the output sorted by hits to see how it works. The R2 net download just now showed BTW. Bob
