Welliot, I just ran your syntax with my filter and it seems to only be returning results where the avg. volume(90) was above 75% for the present day not above 75% for any of the preceding 5 days including the current. day.......

Welliot, the filter is still not returning the desired results even with me removing today equals 1

Anyone else want to try and take a stab at this?

If you're combining filters, there may be a conflict between the two... If you post your filter maybe someone can help.

I decided to join StockFetcher today ....

I think this is what you are looking for.....

Fetcher[

/* Volume 75% above average volume(90) within the last 5 days */
set{av90,average volume(90)}
set{abve75,av90*1.75}

/* some BOOLEAN LOGIC thanks TRO */
set{A,count(abve75 is less then volume,1)}
set{B,count(abve75 is less then volume 1 day ago,1)}
set{C,count(abve75 is less then volume 2 day ago,1)}
set{D,count(abve75 is less then volume 3 day ago,1)}
set{E,count(abve75 is less then volume 4 day ago,1)}

set{ORA,A+B}
set{ORB,ORA+C}
set{ORC,D+E}
set{ORD,ORB+ORC}

/* if ORD is greater then 0 then it happened */
show stocks where ORD is greater then 0

/* weed out the pennies and bring in some volume */
and price is greater then 5
and average volume(30) is greater then 150000

/* now test if OVERBOUGHT */
and Slow Stochastic(5,5) Fast %K is greater then 82

add column ORD
]



lots of potential here !
...a little tweeking with this screen, and some great short candidates pop up !
(I weeded out the low volume, and get rid of the pennies, and straight to the bank !
... let me know if this works for you ....

Yah know, I looked at you code ... and so very close ... here is the corrected version :

Fetcher[

not otcbb
avgvol(90) > 500000

set{75pct,.75}
set{v90,avgvol(90)}
set{v90times75pct,v90 * 75pct}
set{v90plus75,v90 plus v90times75pct}


set{timeslast5days,count(volume above v90plus75,5)}
set{today,count(volume above v90plus75,1)}

/* and here is the only line needing correction */
timeslast5days IS GREATER THEN 0


add column average volume(90)
add column v90plus75
add column today
add column timeslast5days

do not draw average volume(10)
do not draw v90plus75
]



...
I like you use of the count. Well done !

/*compare current x days average volume with y days average volume x days ago*/
set{x,5}
set{y,80}

/*total volume in x+y days*/
set{all, avgvol(85)*85}

/*total volume in current x days*/
set{current, AvgVol(5) *5}

/*total volume in y days x days ago*/
set{before, all - current}

/*average volume in y days x days ago*/
set{avg_before, before/80}

set{ratio, avgvol(5)/avg_before}
add column ratio

price is above 3
average volume(20) > 200000
ratio is above 1.75
sort column 5 ascending

I revised my code to incorporate the sleeker count method (thanks) .... but surprisingly it dropped 2 stocks from the results ... it is only two ... Anyways ... I believe it gives rock solid results. Check it out:

Fetcher[
/* Volume 75% above average volume(90) within the last 5 days */
set{av90,average volume(90)}
set{abve75,av90*1.75}

set{highVOLin5days,count(volume greater then abve75,5)}

/* if highVOLin5days is greater then 0 then it happened */
show stocks where highVOLin5days is greater then 0

/* weed out the pennies and bring in some volume */
and price is greater then 5
and average volume(30) is greater then 150000

/* now test if OVERBOUGHT */
and Slow Stochastic(5,5) Fast %K is greater then 82

add column highVOLin5days
]

Cacher and everyone else, thanks for your help

Here is my filter with some of the things you added. This is still in the works. I am also trying to get syntax for the following to add to the filter:

Show stocks where price is 1% less than or equal to the previous days close
and/or stocks where price is less than or equal to 1% above the previous days close

I am trying to catch shooting stars here but want my syntax to be more robust so that I am not only returning results for doji's as that would likely have very few returns (thus the 1% above or below previous days close syntax)

I use the filter when I believe the market is near a top. If you run the filter around 3 o'clock and the stock is trading just below the previous days close and you have somewhat of a doji forming at the top of what was a pretty good run for the last couple of days and strong volume, momentum is likely changing and you have a short candidate going into the next day. I usually place a stop slightly above the high of the day of entry.

Again, your help has been appreciated. Let me know your thoughts!


Show 5 day slope of DMA(28,-14)
and DMA(28,-14)is more than 3% below close
and EMA(13) is above DMA(28,-14)

and price near top linear regression line(100)
and price above 5.00

avgvol(90) > 300000

/* Volume 75% above average volume(90) within the last 5 days */
set{av90,average volume(90)}
set{abve75,av90*1.75}

set{highVOLin5days,count(volume greater then abve75,5)}

/* if highVOLin5days is greater then 0 then it happened */
show stocks where highVOLin5days is greater then 0

/* now test if OVERBOUGHT */
and Slow Stochastic(5,5) Fast %K is greater then 82

add column highVOLin5days
