Here ya go.... issuetype common; output = "highvol.lst"; integer i; integer flag; flag:=0; // Set to Zero, Goes 1 if the Stock was picked 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))) then flag:=1; endif; if ((min(i,i-2,vol) > 75000) and (vol(i) > 3avgvol(i-3,i-15)) and //today and day before yest (vol(i-2) > 3avgvol(i-5,i-17))) then flag:=1; endif; next i; if (flag=1) then println symbol; endif; *I'm not embarrassed to say that it took me about 6 hours to convert this one scan* That's unfortunate. I'm getting the impression that you are bound and determined to make this as hard as possible. If you wanted to make this easier you could have asked from help here or from Quotes plus TS. I see that you choose to do it the hard way so that you would have more to gripe about. My best advice would be to ditch the attitude and work with people here who didn't make this decision, have nothing to do with this decision and are more than willing to help. *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.* Well, I have been in gary's position as a developer before and understand the difficulty of this decision. Since you seemed to be upset about this why don't you call up QP and ask to talk to gary and express your concern. He always seems willing to listen. 1 down.... ??? to go.... Sean

Sean already converted this for you so I won't belabor that point, but I wanted to point out what he did. Instead of printing the stock in the loop, just set a flag to point out that yes, this one qualifies. When you are out of the loop, check the flag to see if any of the (possibly many) conditions had set it, and print the symbol if so. It's a pretty common technique.
