Missed the question, Monty ;), but ...
-A problem with For i = 1 to -10 step -1 Do is that i can't be positive.
-Think we've been thru problems with errors in help file examples -- sue them ;)
-Upgap doesn't measure 'where the price has risen'; the helpfile has it right.
Upgap(Daynum)

Returns the amount by which the issue price has risen on the specified day. If the low for the specified day is higher than the high for the previous day, this function returns the value in dollars of the gap. Otherwise, the function returns zero. Daynum must be less than one; zero indicates today's date.
Example:
Upgap(0)
This returns the upgap for today. If an issue's high was $30.25 yesterday, and the low for today was $36.625, the function above returns $6.375. If today's low was lower than the previous high, this function returns 0. To scan for issues whose upgap was more than $5, you could use this line:

If Upgap(0) > 5 then

println symbol;
endif;

I wonder if you and Stephen have experienced the delight of Metastock help of the George variety.

Monty:

Allow me to jump in. Bob was kind enough to recommend some reading material to me a while ago. Certainly enough to keep one busy for a while it seems.
