I must be getting dumber in my old age. I use to know how to do these things. 

I want to find the max high and min low during the month of February 2010.

You pretty much can't unless you know both the number of Trading Days in the month of February 2010 and the Date of the last Trading Day in the month of February 2010. So the formula for the MaxHigh would be:

MAXH19.'02/26/2010'

While the formula for the MinLow would be:

MINL19.'02/26/2010'

Thanks, Bruce

my problem is I really want to do it for all 12 months for the last 12 years. 

I just used February as an example. 

Guess I'll goes to StockFinder and just use a monthly calendar. I think that will work. SF5 is true weekly and monthly isn't it?

Yeah, that would take a lot of work to determine the dates and number Trading Day for all 144 periods to do this in TeleChart (although you could do it in the Monthly Time Frame in the TC2000.com version 11 beta without specifying dates).

As you mentioned, StockFinder also has Calendar Months available.
