 I want to go back in time (maybe up to 10 years ago) and find all stocks that are below 50 day sma

 and have positive EPS and growth projections & 100K min avg vol & > $1 closing price.
  
 Can stockfinder do this?


 Thanks,

 Tom

The technicals (below 50 day sma, 100K min avg vol, & > $1 closing price) should definitely be possible going back 10 years (although determining unadjusted Volume and Price figures might be problematic). Historical Fundamentals require Platinum and even then we only have EPS going back to the middle of 2003 however (although we have projected high, low and consensus EPS estimates going back as far as late 1996).

Bruce...  I noticed EPS Surprise% goes back to 1998, although as you point out EPS only goes back as far as 2003.   Is this accurate ?      (BTW... I also noticed ROE goes back to 1998 as well).  

Lastly,  I'm assuming that regardless of the fundamental, if I can place it on the chart and it shows up for the time frame in question,  I can test with it..   is this a valid assumption ?  

thx

I show EPS Surprise Percentage going back as far as the beginning of 1997 on at least some symbols. Different fundamentals will have vastly different amounts of history available depending on the the vendor providing it to us and possibly when we started tracking it internally.

It should be a fairly good assumption. Keep in mind that some historical values (such as Price and Volume) might be adjusted based on splits (and possibly even large dividends or distributions). I do not know of a simple way to unadjust these adjusted values in StockFinder.
