chetron; could you please define your columns and the purpose of each, thank you! your filter of 3/11/2008, that is. i wonder how many here are like me, an amateur who wants to learn and so is confused by terms such as POPCOUNT?

popcount= # of times in past 100 days the stock price "popped" above the open to the predetermined level when rsi(2) fell below the threshold value on the previous day (3% above the open for rsi(2) below 10 in the previous posted version)
rs100= total # of times in past 100 days rsi(2) fell below the threshold value for a particular stock
successratio= the ratio of the above. It tells you what fraction of the time the stock "popped" when it reached the rsi(2) threshold
hi100= today's difference between the high and the open in %

No, I have an Excel database not a "scan" or "filter". However, if you set up a SF watchlist "RinMotion" with the one stock, RIMM, in it and use the following filter
you can check it out a day at a time.

Contrahawk
There are two potential areas for disagreement
1) Stockfetcher only lets you look at the statistics for the past 100 days (hint hint, it would be great if they would increase this parameter). It's possible for Rimm that the behavior in this period is different from the record over the past 2-3 years.
2) You are talking about the difference between the close and the next day's high. The filter I posted looked at the difference between the open and the high. For some people, this is better approach, because you don't have the risk of holding the stock over night.
Making a few changes to the filter to reflect your strategy, I see that if you buy Rimm at the close when rsi(2) falls below 10, the next day's high will be at least 2% greater, 85% of the time.

contrahawk,
can you check it out 1 day at a time with the symlist command?

I'm certain that you're right, chetron. . . .I was sure that there was a command like that but I never got around to including it in my quiver.
Thanks! Next time I'll know where to look.

cmeade2,
we must be in complete harmony, you and I, because I made no suggestion about how (or if) someone might use the information drawn from my data. . . .it's just information. . . .there was no "strategy" attached!
