  Hello

  I’m having trouble figuring how to write code or use the simple creation method for these scans..

  I wanted to make the following simple scans, and would be very appreciative if someone could help me:

  1. Stocks up >10% in the past week
  2. Stocks up >20% in the past month
  3. Stocks up> 30% in the past quarter
  4. Stocks up >40% in the past 6 months

  I want to use these scans to get a feel for trending industries.

  Thanks for any help in advance

  To be clear do you want a scan for stocks 10% above the 5 day lows  or stocks 10% above 5ma  or stocks 10% above the close 5 days ago  . If you get more specific i might be able to help you otherwise id just be guessing .

  Hi Brisvegas

  Cheers for the reply, and sorry for not being specific!

  I think the closing price would be the most appropriate, so the scans would be:

  1. stocks =>10% up from the close 5 days ago 
  2. stocks =>20% up from the close 1 month ago
  3. stocks =>30% up from the close 1 quarter ago
  4. stocks =>40% up from the close 6 months ago

  It would be awesome if you could help me out with these scans, thanks in advance!

  Kind Regards

  OK pretty simple   , firstly ive written an indicator which is fairly handy in itself to base scan on  , you will need to add a variable labelled ‘p’  . ive set the default value to 5

  // percent from 'x' day close by Brisvegaxe a = CLOSE[p] b = CLOSE c = b-a d = c/b*100 return d as " Percent from 'x' day close "

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

  // percent from 'x' day close by Brisvegaxe   a = CLOSE[p]   b = CLOSE   c = b-a   d = c/b*100   return d as " Percent from 'x' day close "

  Now we do the scanner using indicator above 

  // Scan for y % from x close by Brisvegaxe // Change this variable to adust days look back period x = 5 // Change this variable to adjust the percentage from y = 10 indicator1 = CALL "Percent from 'x' day close"[x] c1 = (indicator1 >= y) criteria = CALL "Percent from 'x' day close"[x] SCREENER[c1] (criteria AS " Percent above 'x' day close ")

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16

  // Scan for y % from x close by Brisvegaxe   // Change this variable to adust days look back period   x = 5   // Change this variable to adjust the percentage from   y = 10   indicator1 = CALL "Percent from  'x' day close"[x] c1 = (indicator1 >= y)   criteria = CALL "Percent from  'x' day close"[x]   SCREENER[c1] (criteria AS " Percent above 'x' day close ")

  change the ‘x’ = to the days lookback you require … 5 ,10 etcetc and ive used ‘y’ to give some flexibility to the percentage numbers you scan    Enjoy

  Hey Brisvegas I’m having a little trouble making the scanner work.

  Firstly I added the indicator in to my PRT, and changed the p value to 5.

  Then I added the screener and left everything as is (x = 5, y = 10)

  and then i got an error message (I have attached it).

  Hey Brisvegas

  Cheers again, the screener has been working a treat!

  Is there any possible way to add additional code to weed out stocks that are priced under a dollar or any amount I specify?

  Kind Regards

  Hey Bris Vegas

  I’m not too sure how to use the simplified creation option to existing code?

  Hello Aduro. I don’t normally do screeners so it was a nice little exercise for me. It does not use a separate indicator like Brisvegas’s. Hopefully it works and does what you want. Just set the Period, Percentage and Minprice needed in the code. ITF file attached that you can import. Let me know if it is wrong in anyway!

  // Percentage Rise in Period and Above Minimum Price //Created by Vonasi Period = 5 Percentage = 10 MinPrice = 100 PercentageRise = ((close - close[Period])/close)*100 a = PercentageRise > Percentage and close > MinPrice SCREENER [a](PercentageRise as "%Rise")

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

  // Percentage Rise in Period and Above Minimum Price //Created by Vonasi   Period = 5 Percentage = 10 MinPrice = 100   PercentageRise = ((close - close[Period])/close)*100 a = PercentageRise > Percentage and close > MinPrice   SCREENER [a](PercentageRise as "%Rise")

  ITF file also attached.
