Do you have an easy scan where I can pick optionable high beta stocks that are either just either breaking up or down through the 30 day simple moving average? Please advise. Thanks!

If I'm understanding your question correctly, you might wish to start be creating one of the following Personal Criteria Formulas:

Price xUp SMA30:

C > AVGC30 AND C1 <= AVGC30.1

Price xDown SMA30:

C < AVGC30 AND C1 >= AVGC30.1

Price crossing SMA30 (either direction):

SGN(C - AVGC30) <> SGN(C1 - AVGC30.1)

You can then use the PCF as an EasyScan Condition:

Select New | New EasyScan.
- Watchlist: All Stocks
- Optionable Stocks - True
- Beta: Value or Rank?: ? to Max.
- Price crossing SMA30 - True

You will need to determine the exact Beta settings on your own. You may wish to review the following:
