 Hi:
 I am trying to build a filter to display the latest 10 days of a custom variable.  There are 2 variables one is 4%  above close 1 day ago .  The other is 4% below close 1 day ago.  I have written a simple line to get started which is:
 
 
 
 average volume is below 5000000
 Set{ABV1, (close is 4% above close 1 day ago)}
 Set{BLW1, ( close is 4% below close 1 day ago)}
 and add column ABV1
 and add column BLW1
 
 I added the volume line just to get some results in the screen which I figure the program wants to do.  I will add numbers to each line of code until I get to 10.  I think this will give me 10 sets of daily numbers.  I am getting no results in the display pane and when I check syntax I get errors on all lines including the volume line.  What am I doing incorrectly?  Any suggestions?

 does this help...
 
 PS  Remember to click on a column heading to manually change the sort order (Ascend or Descend).
 
 Note to mahkoh (Thank you for the catch).

 You will also want to state the number of days to sample for average volume, like " average volume(30) below 50000000 "
 Your current syntax will disregard "average" and just look for today's volume below 50000000

 Four:
 I guess I did not explain myself quite clearly.  I am using this to try to get a sense of market breath.  I would like ABV1-ABV10 and BLW1-BLW10 to show up as columns showing a total of all the stocks that had a 4% bump (or drop) on a given day.  That way I could easily check up Vs dn stocks and see a trend.  I know the daily numbers of up vs down stocks does basically the same thing but I was thinking this would be a bit clearer showing only the stocks that really mean it.
 Also, Mahkoh, thanks for catching that.
