1.  I'm looking for a pcf for volume over the 25 day moving average

2.  Also, a pcf for low volocity stocks.  The bottom 25%. 

Thanks much.

Your first request is staightforward:

V > AVGV25

I do not understand the second request. I'm guessing volocity is just a typo and should be velocity (my intellectual curiosity is actually hoping volocity is some sort of exotic mix of volatility and velocity), but I have been unable to identify a standardized velocity indicator.

Is velocity a Percent Change over some period of time or something else? If it is something else, how is it calculated?

Sorry Bruce.  I guess I was a little blurry eyed from surfing charts last night.  I meant low volatility.  The bottom 25%.  I was watching a Martha Stokes video and I think she was using StockFinder and she created a scan of common stocks between $10 - $20 with volume above the 25 ema and all stocks in the lower 25% of volatility.  Since I now have a pcf for the 25 ema all I lack is the low volatility pcf. Thx.

The original formula given was for Volume above its 25-Period Simple Moving Average. If you want it to be above its 25-Period Exponential Moving Average, you would want the following instead:

V > XAVGV25

StockFinder had Price Volatility and Chaikin's Volatility. Of these, TC2000 has Price Volatility (although not as an indicator, just as a current fundamental criteria value). You would need to create a Scan and add Price Volatility. Then click on Ranks and set the rangefinder to Min to 25.

I do need volume for exponential moving average.  Thanks for catching that.  

So volatility is under price volatility.  I was just looking under volatility.    

As usual you are a great resource.  Thanks very much.
