AMC has undefined everything, Alain ;) Sure would have flunked a vol pre-screen. Most scans here and on Brooke's site either have a vol test or an input file name that hints of volume. 30 and 300K avgvol filters seem common -- I use 30K or a PrVol equivalent e.g. [with utterly unnecessary embellishments :)] -Bob -------------- IssueType Common; float MinPrVol, MaxPrVol, maPr, maVol, prVol; integer bar, prLen, volLen; bar:= 0; prLen := 10; volLen := 30; MinPrVol := 10; // Set M here ************ output = "10M+PrVol.lst"; // Rename to match MinPrVol := 1000000MinPrVol; Daystoload = 2200; // For count DaysRequired = 100 -bar; maPr := MovAvg(bar,prLen,cl); // Store Pr if maPr > 1 then maVol := Movavg(bar,volLen,vol); if maVol > 30000 then // lowish prVol := maPrmaVol; if prVol > MinPrVol then Println symbol,",",PrVol/1000000:8:3,",",maVol/1000:8:3,",", DaysLoaded; endif; endif; endif;

Yo Alain. I'm a dumba when it comes to this stuff but persistent. Bob has a good point to prescan. If you still want to run your scan you can add the line daysrequired=69; // since amc has 68 but that is impractical so you could also prequalify the stoch values with a variable. ie integer d,mtest; // add mtest variable d:=-20; // FIRST BUY INDICATION mtest:=StochasticPctK(d); if mtest >0 and mtest <100 then //don't forget the endif! if StochasticPctK(d) <=20 then it works past amc but the smart guys are going to have to explain why, also note that a >= and <= will not work bdog
