Hi! I've got a couple of quick, nooby questions....

1) Are there any libraries of downloadable formulas, etc. for MetaStock?

2) Specifically what I am looking for is something that will screen a list of stocks to a range of price and volume... ie: Stocks that are in the $5.00 to $5.00 range ... Volumes of at least 100,000 shares per day

Do I have to learn to create a formula like this, or do things like this already exist?

Thanks!

Yes there are plenty of downloadable formulas, google will help you find them. Specifically, in the explorer, choose the index you want to scan, NYSE, Nasdaq, S&P 500, etc, and to screen you will choose the filter tab... for price C>5 and C<50 and V>=100,000 (that will be volume for last trading day) if you want to find a moving average of volume over a certain number of days do mov(v,10,s)>100000 good luck, fairly steep learning curve is ahead of you but there's plenty of help here. Most of the great programmers here (not me), at least want you to try to answer your own question before posting code.

ok, major editing problems on here today. C>5 and C<=50 and V>100000 that will be for the latest session...for an average volume of over 100k you have to choose how far back you want to go...in that case mov(v,10,s)>100000 is a simple moving average of volume over the last 10 days must be greater than 100000 shares.
