When refering to "EPS  percent change latest quarter" im talking about the indicator. A picture is included to get a visual.

Basically im interested in stocks whos "EPS  percent change latest quarter" is 100% greater than the previous " ËPS percent change latest quarter".

I can not figure out a way to scan for this. However I did try the percent change option but it did not scan correctly. I think it is taking the values from the latest EPS and not the " ËPS percent change latest quarter".

Any suggestions? Thank you!

You are not going to want to use a percent change for this. The value is already expressed as a percentage for one thing. More importantly, the value can can cross through zero and percent changes don't make sense under such circumstances.

The other think to do is to change to a quarterly time frame if you are going to set the Net Change Period to 1. If you are going to use a different time frame, you would want to use a Net Change Period which covers about a quarter (so about 63 for a daily time frame).

Thanks Bruce. I  didn't think of using net change, as I was thinking in terms of percent.
