Hi, I'm trying to create a filter that is approaching a 52 week low that it has hit previously. Ideally i would like to find a stock that is within 1-2% of a 52 week low that it has hit before and preferably not the same day. A 52 week low that it has hit either a few days or more ago is what i really want. Does anyone know how i would set up that filter?...thanks a lot.

Fetcher[
set{ low52, low 52 week low }
set{ hitlow52, count( low 1 day ago equal low52 1 day ago, 5) }

set{ pct52a, close - low52 }
set{ pct52b, pct52a / low52}
set{ pct52, pct52b * 100 }

low above low 52 week low
hitlow52 above 0
pct52 below 2.01

add column low52
add column hitlow52
add column pct52

draw low 52 week low

sort column 4 descending
]



This will display stocks that have hit their 52 week low over the past 5 days.

LOW52 is the 52 week low.

PCT52 is the percent.

HITLOW52 is how many times the 52 week low was hit over the last 5 days.

HTH.

Hi:
A good filter and a way to visulaize how a stock is going down. I tried to modify the same to allow to identify stocks approaching 52 week high. Getting 0 as the output and couldn't find any error with the debugger. Can you help.

set{ high52, high 52 week high }
set{ hithigh52, count( high 1 day ago equal high52 1 day ago, 5) }

set{ pct52a, high52-close }
set{ pct52b, pct52a / high52}
set{ pct52, pct52b * 100 }

high below high 52 week high
hithigh52 above high52 1 day ago
pct52 above 2.01

add column high52
add column hithigh52
add column pct52

draw high 52 week high

sort column 4 descending

Thanks

In the line "hithigh52 above high52 1 day ago"

Your variable hithigh52 is a count number. You then compare this to high52, which is a price.

Thanks a lot. That worked...

Here is the updated

set{ high52, high 52 week high }
set{ hithigh52, count( high 1 day ago equal high52 1 day ago, 5) }

set{ pct52a, high52-close }
set{ pct52b, pct52a / high52}
set{ pct52, pct52b * 100 }

high below high 52 week high
hithigh52 above 0
pct52 above 2.01

add column high52
add column hithigh52
add column pct52

draw high 52 week high

sort column 6 descending

Thanks for your responses. I may not have been completely clear. What i'm looking for is a stock that hit its 52 week low for example, a month ago, and is coming close to hitting that same low again telling me that there may be some support there.

=================

First you say:

"A 52 week low that it has hit either a few days or more ago is what i really want."

That is VERY CLEAR to me.

Then you say:

"What i'm looking for is a stock that hit its 52 week low for example, a month ago, and is coming close to hitting that same low again telling me that there may be some support there."

THAT'S COMPLETELY DIFFERENT!

The following will return stocks that recently hit a 52 week low, bounced at least 5% off that low, and now are less than 3% above that low:

Fetcher[
close reached a new 52 week low within the last 6 weeks
close has been above close 52 week low for the last 2 weeks
close 2 week high is more than 5% above close 52 week low
close is less than 3% above close 52 week low
close is above 5 and average volume(30) is above 50000 and draw rsi(2)
]
