I'd like a scan for six-month rate of change of price (aprox).

What do you want to scan for per the PROC?

It increasing/decreasing (if so, over what period)

It crossing above/below zero?

· Colby:I first calculate a six-month rate of change (approximately) of price. Next add in filters to dampen random noise. rank all the ETFs in my universe from highest rate of change to lowest rate of change. Finally, I pick the highest 10 ETFs each week. These “Top 10” are the best performing ETFs, the ones with the best major trend momentum

This is the quote from the FORBS article this month.

Verona,
Your quote doesn't really say. If you just want a Price Percent Change:

100 * C / C126 - 100

If you want an Annualized Growth Rate:

100 * (EXP(253 * (62.5 * LOG(C ) + 61.5 * LOG(C1) + 60.5 * LOG(C2) + 59.5 * LOG(C3) + 58.5 * LOG(C4) + 57.5 * LOG(C5) + 56.5 * LOG(C6) + 55.5 * LOG(C7) + 54.5 * LOG(C8) + 53.5 * LOG(C9) + 52.5 * LOG(C10) + 51.5 * LOG(C11) + 50.5 * LOG(C12) + 49.5 * LOG(C13) + 48.5 * LOG(C14) + 47.5 * LOG(C15) + 46.5 * LOG(C16) + 45.5 * LOG(C17) + 44.5 * LOG(C18) + 43.5 * LOG(C19) + 42.5 * LOG(C20) + 41.5 * LOG(C21) + 40.5 * LOG(C22) + 39.5 * LOG(C23) + 38.5 * LOG(C24) + 37.5 * LOG(C25) + 36.5 * LOG(C26) + 35.5 * LOG(C27) + 34.5 * LOG(C28) + 33.5 * LOG(C29) + 32.5 * LOG(C30) + 31.5 * LOG(C31) + 30.5 * LOG(C32) + 29.5 * LOG(C33) + 28.5 * LOG(C34) + 27.5 * LOG(C35) + 26.5 * LOG(C36) + 25.5 * LOG(C37) + 24.5 * LOG(C38) + 23.5 * LOG(C39) + 22.5 * LOG(C40) + 21.5 * LOG(C41) + 20.5 * LOG(C42) + 19.5 * LOG(C43) + 18.5 * LOG(C44) + 17.5 * LOG(C45) + 16.5 * LOG(C46) + 15.5 * LOG(C47) + 14.5 * LOG(C48) + 13.5 * LOG(C49) + 12.5 * LOG(C50) + 11.5 * LOG(C51) + 10.5 * LOG(C52) + 9.5 * LOG(C53) + 8.5 * LOG(C54) + 7.5 * LOG(C55) + 6.5 * LOG(C56) + 5.5 * LOG(C57) + 4.5 * LOG(C58) + 3.5 * LOG(C59) + 2.5 * LOG(C60) + 1.5 * LOG(C61) + 0.5 * LOG(C62) - 0.5 * LOG(C63) - 1.5 * LOG(C64) - 2.5 * LOG(C65) - 3.5 * LOG(C66) - 4.5 * LOG(C67) - 5.5 * LOG(C68) - 6.5 * LOG(C69) - 7.5 * LOG(C70) - 8.5 * LOG(C71) - 9.5 * LOG(C72) - 10.5 * LOG(C73) - 11.5 * LOG(C74) - 12.5 * LOG(C75) - 13.5 * LOG(C76) - 14.5 * LOG(C77) - 15.5 * LOG(C78) - 16.5 * LOG(C79) - 17.5 * LOG(C80) - 18.5 * LOG(C81) - 19.5 * LOG(C82) - 20.5 * LOG(C83) - 21.5 * LOG(C84) - 22.5 * LOG(C85) - 23.5 * LOG(C86) - 24.5 * LOG(C87) - 25.5 * LOG(C88) - 26.5 * LOG(C89) - 27.5 * LOG(C90) - 28.5 * LOG(C91) - 29.5 * LOG(C92) - 30.5 * LOG(C93) - 31.5 * LOG(C94) - 32.5 * LOG(C95) - 33.5 * LOG(C96) - 34.5 * LOG(C97) - 35.5 * LOG(C98) - 36.5 * LOG(C99) - 37.5 * LOG(C100) - 38.5 * LOG(C101) - 39.5 * LOG(C102) - 40.5 * LOG(C103) - 41.5 * LOG(C104) - 42.5 * LOG(C105) - 43.5 * LOG(C106) - 44.5 * LOG(C107) - 45.5 * LOG(C108) - 46.5 * LOG(C109) - 47.5 * LOG(C110) - 48.5 * LOG(C111) - 49.5 * LOG(C112) - 50.5 * LOG(C113) - 51.5 * LOG(C114) - 52.5 * LOG(C115) - 53.5 * LOG(C116) - 54.5 * LOG(C117) - 55.5 * LOG(C118) - 56.5 * LOG(C119) - 57.5 * LOG(C120) - 58.5 * LOG(C121) - 59.5 * LOG(C122) - 60.5 * LOG(C123) - 61.5 * LOG(C124) - 62.5 * LOG(C125)) / 166687.5) - 1)
