Hi:
I am trying to build a filter to display the latest 10 days of a custom variable. There are 2 variables one is 4% above close 1 day ago . The other is 4% below close 1 day ago. I have written a simple line to get started which is:



average volume is below 5000000
Set{ABV1, (close is 4% above close 1 day ago)}
Set{BLW1, ( close is 4% below close 1 day ago)}
and add column ABV1
and add column BLW1

I added the volume line just to get some results in the screen which I figure the program wants to do. I will add numbers to each line of code until I get to 10. I think this will give me 10 sets of daily numbers. I am getting no results in the display pane and when I check syntax I get errors on all lines including the volume line. What am I doing incorrectly? Any suggestions?

does this help...

PS Remember to click on a column heading to manually change the sort order (Ascend or Descend).

Note to mahkoh (Thank you for the catch).

Fetcher[
avgvol(30) is below 5000000
Set{ABV1, count(close is 4% above close 1 day ago,10)}
Set{BLW1, count(close is 4% below close 1 day ago,10)}
and add column ABV1
and add column BLW1
draw abv1
draw blw1

You will also want to state the number of days to sample for average volume, like " average volume(30) below 50000000 "
Your current syntax will disregard "average" and just look for today's volume below 50000000

Four:
I guess I did not explain myself quite clearly. I am using this to try to get a sense of market breath. I would like ABV1-ABV10 and BLW1-BLW10 to show up as columns showing a total of all the stocks that had a 4% bump (or drop) on a given day. That way I could easily check up Vs dn stocks and see a trend. I know the daily numbers of up vs down stocks does basically the same thing but I was thinking this would be a bit clearer showing only the stocks that really mean it.
Also, Mahkoh, thanks for catching that.
