Hello,
I need help on what syntax I can use to put in pcf to scan the stocks that move more than 15% either way during the last earning release dates. Thanks,

This PCF would give you the price percent change between two dates (I've entered two as examples). You would need to install the dates you wanted to use in the formula:

(C'07/01/08' / C'04/01/08') *100  (this example would return a value on AAPL of 116.82--meaning that between April 1 and July 1 of this year, AAPL rose over 16%...it was 116% of its former price). A value of less than 100 (e.g. 85%) would mean the stock had dropped 15% between those dates.

We do not supply earnings dates, so you'd need to get those from a website with an earnings calendar.
