Thanks, Bruce. Secondly, you cannot do greater than or less than operators.

I can't get a valid answer when I subtract these two, date-specific, exponential moving averages. Each of these averages works fine by itself.

(xavgc40.'04/30/13') - (xavgc40.'03/31/13')

It always returns zero despite trying various uses and non-uses of parentheses. Any help is very much appreciated.

Thank you.

Exactly.

I will try it out this morning.

Yes, I put that in exactly.   Then, I got the idea to make a (H-C)/H*100  percentage difference indicator into a column and sort by it.  That way I can see as many hits as I want to by space barring down the watchlist until I am not at all near the NH.

Bruce,

Thanks so much for investigating my request. Your answer is what I expected.

One slight modification that I might try will be to lessen the tightness of the C=H parameter, by merely requiring it to be within a small fraction of a percent of the high and not actually equal to it.

Is there any way to make a scan that identifies new day highs?  I am very comfortable with pcfs, but haven't figured this one out yet. I am not asking about a new, 2 day high, which is simply, H>H1.   Rather, I am looking to find stocks that are currently making a new high of the day and didn't do this 30 minutes ago, for example. Thanks for your help!

Jerry,

I tried your pcf and got no hits, so it seems to be too restrictive. 

I use this fomula that I wrote, called, "J-Hook-Tight Breakout"

Jerry,

You merely need one more ending parenthesis at the end...  

... c >=0))

Hope this helps.

I am a platinum member and use live results for one of my scans. It works fine. However, how do I make it alert me when it successfully finds a stock meeting my strick conditions? I can't just stare at the Live Results watchlist all day long, hoping to find my wonder stock! 

For example, a few weeks ago one stock did an amazing breakout at 2 PM. Within a few minutes it was advancing many percent. I have a pcf that will find such a stock, but I can't keeping running that scan all day long. How can TC-2000 alert me to such a wonderful stock intraday?

As I understand it, the ALERTS only work with a specific ticker. You just don't know ahead of time which ticker is going to be the special stock of the day. Hence the scans.

Thanks so much!

Van

I think I understood from another post that there is no way to reference a bid or ask in a pcf. If there is, please tell me. If not, is there a plan to incorporate this in the future?

Thanks!
