Chetron:

Thanks, that works great,

I want to add one more wrinkle -

that the close is no higher than 20% above the ema(8)

do I have to put in another series of "set"
and do I have to put "and" before it?

thanks

trex

MAYBE

YOU DON'T NEED "AND" IF YOU HIT THE "ENTER/RETURN/LINE FEED" BUTTON ON YOU KEYBOARD FOR EACH LINE OF CODE AS I DO.

Fetcher[


set{var1,ema(34) - ema(8)}
set{var2,var1 * 100}
set{var3,var2 / ema(34)}

CLOSE ABOVE EMA(8)
CLOSE IS LESS THAN 20 PERCENT EMA(8)
var3 above 20

Chetron My code may not have been quite right.
However:
It passes debug.
It produces qualifying stocks.
Not as many as if done "correctly",but sufficient number to have a good amount to select from.
The number varies if you mix and match synonyms.
Lastly for poor old dumb me it is easier to write in the fabled Stockfetcher" just write it out in plain English".

Chetron. trx22 seems to be asking for an "or". Have to use TRO's work around.

set{var2,var1 * 100}
set{var3,var2 / ema(34)}
set{var4,ema(34)/ema(8)}

add column var3
add column ema(34) divided by ema(8)
