Subject : Finding #bars avail from OmniScan
Posted : 4/21/2009 7:22 AM
Post #11958

I posted about this issue several months ago, and Matthew helped me find a way of doing it that worked.

However, somewhere along the way, the method has stopped working. It's a pretty basic need - to know how "old" a stock is as a part of scanning criteria - so I hope an alternative (and more permanent) solution can be found.

The criteria formula I'm using is:

Min(V,250) >= 1000
and
LLV(250) >= 0.10
and
SymbolData.Numrec > 250

The problem comes in the final condition. This rule USED to filter out any stocks that had not been around for at least a year ... now, it filters out ALL stocks. Un-useful :~(

Please provide an alternative means for doing this.

Thanks!

P.S. Here's another interesting note - unrelated to the main question:
if I use use "Min(V,250) >= 100", many more stocks pass the filter than if I use "Min(V,250) > 100" ... I'd rest easier if someone could give an authoritative explanation for it.
