Computer crash. Help please.
Please look at the writing of this formula and insert spaces and capitols, etc., where appropriate.

C<C1 AND C1<C2 AND C2<C3 AND C3<C4

Thank you.

Craig,

Thanks for everything you do.

One final question please.

My questiong concerns building Sector Index for institutional movement into and out of the market.

Although this is a short list which I'm using as an example, where would I find the Sector Index symbols that Worden uses:
$CEX.X
DJU
$DRG.X
$SNG.X

There are 14 other symbols, all beginning with a $ sign and ending in .X.

I've tried various ways to write them in a new watchlist, but to no avail.

Thank you once again.

Craig, you're absolutely correct, and I concede.

However, the criteria I've set up for stock selection, presently consists of 9 PCFS, and specific stock baskets that I don't deviate from.

I can quickly visualize all my criteria and information needed, with a simple click on the PCF column designated.

Presently, using PCF's, if I have a row with a bunch of "Trues" all neatly lined up across the page, I have a fairly good idea that that stock is either headed up, or down, in the next session or two?

While I'm not actually reinventing the wheel or the world wide web, I am "tweaking" a selection system that originally provided me a 80% hit ratio, which now, after tweaking, has taken me to the upper 90's, with even a few 100% thrown in, for at least a few minutes, on some days.

The PCF I originally inquired about last week was to "test" and evaluate the potential for stocks that had been up on a dismally down day, to determine if they would continue rising at market open the following day. My test is over and the mixed results are nothing I can depend on, so I will not be "speculating" on that theory, but the information was interesting.

So, even using a scan would not improve the results I was seeking.

I do appreciate your insight however, and if the occasion arises in the future, I know where to find Price Percent Change Today.

I would like to ask your help though.

I presently have a PCF that gives me a "True" for 20 day average volume over 300,000 shares.

Could you give me the PCF for 'todays volume over 300,000 shares'?

I run my selection criteria each evening after you all update everything.

Would it be V>300?

Thanks for your continued diligence and patience. I've seldom kept things simple.

Thanks Craig,

I'll try your suggestion, however for 5 months now I've worked on a scanning program using a specific stock list that I use.

The results provide me a visual selection of potential stocks that will go up tomorrow and have a strong potential to trend up for the next 2 sessions, allowing me to take a designated amount of money off the table each week.

Appreciate your insight.

Thanks Craig,

The PCF fits my criteria.

I'll check out the video. Have you all made it possible to download the videos and watch them off line yet?

Bruce, it didn't do what I wanted it to do, which is show me a stock that actually rose in price today, even though the market was dismal.

I believe the correct question should have been, "Todays close greater than yesterday close".

Am I correct in assuming that the formula would be -
C > C1

Thanks,

BB

Thanks Bruce, that is very simple.

I was told that when a stock goes up on a dismal day, there might just be a follow up rise at the next open.
