I'd like to compare today's volume with the max or min volume over the last 20 days. Will the following accomplish this:

if (volume.last < volume.last(20)) then pass

Or will the above compare today's volume with the volume from 20 days ago?

Your comparison would be to the Volume 20-Bars Ago. I suspect you want something similar to the following instead:

If Volume.Value < Volume.MinClose(20, 1) Then Pass

Thanks...one more question...

What would be used to ask if today's volume was < the average over the last 20 days?

My first guess would be that you are using StockFinder 4 as the AVG syntax was introduced in StockFinder 5. If that is not the case, you could try the following instead (but the AVG syntax without the C is working just fine for me):

If Volume.Value < Volume.AVGC(20) Then Pass
