Hi: I am a new user who was recommended very highly to your software by a well known technical analyst. I have a time crunch problem and would appreciate your help in creating "personal criteria formulas" for some specific items I need to scan. I am a Platinum member and I have purchased all of your available disks and books but I am involved in a critical project that must be addressed this weekend and I need this data to create an "Easy Scan" for my use on Monday morning. Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is a very important issue to me.

My Overall Objective:Is to create two Easy scans to identify potential long and potential short positions using the following criteria:

All stocks (which is redily available)
Within a specific price range(readily available)
Currently highest volume trades - top 75% (need help with this one)
Greatest Price Change Per Share - Up (need help with this one)
Greatest Price Change Per Share - Down (need help with this one)

I would also like to know if I can, and how I can, change the universe to limit to Only NASDQ Stocks. I see that I can use "NASDQ 100" but I'd like to use all NASDQ stocks if possible.

I was also considering using the "BOP - Today" option to get support, power, of the price change.

Thanks in advance for you help

Start by watching this video:

Using EasyScan to find stocks that meet your own criteria

and reviewing these conditions

Definitions of all built in scanning and sorting criteria

You can limit to just NASDAQ by using the condition EXCHANGE

It appears that you will be using MARKET RANKS in many of your conditions. If you need more help after watching the videos and reviewing the conditions, please let me know here.

OopsI forgot the most important as[pects of my scans. I realize that my Easy Scan will only be updated if I push the "Update" button, What I need is a current, "Real-Time" list to select stocks from. I also understand that if I select the "1 minute interval" the chart I chose will be updated automatically in "Real-Time". Once I am finished with that stock I will hit"Update" to get a new list.

Updates are 20-min delayed (as will be your EasyScans) but your charts will be streaming. You may want to check out the RT sorts as well Real time indicator sorting (available at the Platinum level)

Hi Craig:
Thanks for you input it is invaluable to me. As you can see it is 3:30AM EST and this is the first chance I'm getting to look at your comments, I will put a scan together based on your input and let you know how it turns out in the morning....I mean later.

Thanks again
