Unixgeek, Sean; Here's a simple scan that I've managed to convert, except that it lists multiple hits on the same stock. The scan lists stocks with high volume for two out of three days. R1 Version loop(0,-4) AllGroup Comment="3x avg volume today and yesterday" issuetype = common min(0,-1,vol) > 750 vol(0) > 3avgvol(-3,-15) vol(-1) > 3avgvol(-4,-16) AllGroup Comment="3x avg volume today and day before yesterday" issuetype = common min(0,-2,vol) > 750 vol(0) > 3avgvol(-3,-15) vol(-2) > 3avgvol(-4,-16) In R2, I think it translates to output = "highvol.lst"; issuetype common; integer i; for i = -4 to 0; do if min(i,i-1,vol) > 75000 and vol(i) > 3avgvol(i-3,i-15) and //today and yesterday vol(i-1) > 3avgvol(i-4,i-16) or min(i,i-2,vol) > 75000 and vol(i) > 3avgvol(i-3,i-15) and //today and day before yesterday vol(i-2) > 3avgvol(i-5,i-17) then println symbol; endif next i; There may be some minor typos, but this scan works except for the multiple listings of the same stocks. I'm not embarrassed to say that it took me about 6 hours to convert this one scan, and I can't for the life of me understand why Gary Lyben felt I should have to do this just to remain a customer.
