Could someone create the following PCF for me so I could copy and paste it in TC?
Close today/close 250 days ago > 1.9
Price as % of 52 wk high >= 92.4%
Price per share >= 20
Volume 1 day-- 103 to max
EPS % change last quarter, rank of 70 or higher

Please start by creating the following PCF:
C / C250 > 1.9 AND C / MAXH252 >= .924 AND C >= 20 AND V >= 103
Ranks and fundamentals cannot be included in Personal Criteria Formulas, so you will need to combine the above with the following built in System Criteria in an EasyScan:
EPS Percent Change (Latest Q) - The percentage change in earnings per share from the comparable quarter a year before. Timely stocks will usually have strong recent quarterly earnings to validate the annual earnings strength. This reads in percentage.

I have tried writing this PCF several times and get the same response when I run the test: "IBM
105.88 / 77.10 > 1.90 AND 105.88 / 108.05 >= 0.92 AND 105.88 >= 20.00 AND 41914.00 >= 103.00
Result: False
CRITERION INFORMATION
Market days needed to complete the Criterion:253 days. Criteria that require more than 150 days slower to calculate.
CHANGE SYMBOL"
I don't know what to make of all this. And should I change the Symbol from IBM and to what?

I should have added that I also copied and pasted your PCF with the same test result. Also, I meant to say Criteria more than 250 days.

All that test means is that IBM did not pass the PCF. It was not TRUE for your PCF.
Add your PCF to an EasyScan and it will find all the stocks that are TRUE for your test.
FALSE is not an error message.
