I would create these as separate PCFs which you can then combine in EasyScan any way you like.

Low today<previous 10 day low
L<MINL10.1

Today's range>average range of the last 20 days
H-L>AVGGH20.1-AVGL20.1

Close today in the top 50% of the day's range
I would do it this way:

Close as % of Range
100*(C-L)/(H-L)
(you can then add it in EasyScan and limit the values to 50 to MAX or any number you like)

Close today>close yesterday
No need for a PCF. Just add Price Percent Change Today and set it to VALUES greater than zero.

Volume today>highest volume of the previous 10 days
V>AVGV10.1

tr5k,
What is the error message? You may wish to try the following Personal Criteria Formula:

L < MINL10.1 AND H - L > AVGH20.1 - AVGL20.1 AND C - L >= .5 * (H - L) AND C > C1 AND V > MAXV10.1

Error on formula syntax.Criterion Information-Market Days Needed to Calculate Criterion:22.I pasted your your formula as follows.

(L < MINL10.1)(H - L > AVGGH20.1 - AVGL20.1)(C - L >= .5 * (H - L)(C > C1)(V > MAXV10.1)

Please advice me again.

That is not an error.
It is information.

Thanks

tr5k,
You need to copy the entire formula including the ANDs. As diceman already mentioned, the message is informational. Have you had a chance to review the videos Craig referenced?
