Hi to all,
My name is Igor and Im new to formulas, before I used TOS for scanning stocks, it was easier. I just had to put formula that I wanted from many resources in the web, but I prefer to use more proffeional tool like MetaStock to rich my goals.

I started to learn about formulas from Formula Primer book and did some basics formulas like Price range that I want to see at the screener(Close > 10 AND Close < 70), and volume. But when I get to the "harder" formulas like I used before in other prgoram I stuck.

The formulas that I stuck in is : ATR(14) that would show me bigger then 0.65 range in stocks in my list,
Avrg Volume 1000000, and the hardest one is: I want to make a formula that will show me only this stocks that 2 last bars had bigger volume and volatility for about 20% than the previous bars.

I would be very appreciated to all of you how could help me make it works.
(Sorry for my bad English)

You would want to use the Explorer to screen stocks for certain criteria. When you create a New exploration, you would put any criteria you want to screen by in the "Filter" tab. For example:

ATR(14) > 0.65 AND V > 1000000

For a formula on volatility you can check out:


There are certainly other resources out there with lots of free formulas on them, for example:



For something being 20% greater, you could multiply the current values by 0.80, for example:

(Std(Log(C/Ref(C,-1)),10)*Sqrt(365)*100) * 0.8 > Ref(Std(Log(C/Ref(C,-1)),10)*Sqrt(365)*100,-1) AND V * 0.8 > Ref(V,-1)
