Blake: Here's another version of the scan, which has a slightly different output. Now, the out put gives the change in price from when the high was hit, instead of just the new close. With the change in price, it's easier to see quickly how the stock has performed since hitting the high.

(BTW: Since it's the Easter weekend, can't we finally come up with the Holy Grail of scans, the one that will make all of us billionaires within a few months?)

output="hi.lst";
integer i;
for i=-30 to -10 step 1 do
if close(i)=max(i,-250+i,cl) and
vol(i)>=1.5*avgvol(i,-49+i) then
println symbol:-7, "52-week high: ", date(i), " ", Close(i):6:2,
" ", " Days after high: ", " ", "Day 1: ", " ", Close(i+1)-Close(i):6:2,
" ", " Day 2: ", " ", Close(i+2)-Close(i):6:2,
" ", " Day 3: ", " ", Close(i+3)-Close(i):6:2,
" ", " Day 4: ", " ", Close(i+4)-Close(i):6:2,

" ", " Day 6: ", " ", Close(i+6)-Close(i):6:2,

" ", " Day 10: ", " ", Close(i+10)-Close(i):6:2;
endif;
next i;

Here's my Holy Grail Scan, which was revealed to me on Good Friday after days of prayer, fasting and preparation of tax returns. It gives a promising list of candidates.

output = "holy grail.lst";
IssueType Common;
If Max(0, -5, Cl) > 0 then
Println "Holy Grail Scan's possible pick-of-the-century stock: ", symbol:-7;
endif;
