Yep, notice how Gary finally added decent descriptions of what all the QP2 scan functions do (including the UNITS associated with each) and actually gives a small concise example of how to use each one in a scan for example: EPS1growth returns the 1 year growth rate of earnings per share, as a percentage EPS3growth returns the 3 year growth rate earnings per share as a percentage EPS5growth returns the 5 year growth rate earnings per share as a percentage Example: This scan selects all stocks for which the one-year growth rate is 5 percent or greater. Output = "myfile"; If EPS1growth > = 5 then println symbol; endif; Gap() Gap( DayNum ) Returns the difference between the opening price for the day selected by DayNum and the closing price of the day before (DayNum - 1). DayNum must be <= 0. Example: Gap( 0 ) returns the opening gap for the most current date. Gap(0) >= 1 selects all issues that gapped up at least 1 dollar on the open. Gap(0) <= 1 selects all issues that gapped down at least 1 dollar on the open. Sean
