Hi,
I want to find stocks where (at end-of-day) today's low is 10 cents lower than yesterday's low, for stocks priced between $1.15 and $1.85.
I have Metastock 9.1 if that matters.
Thanks, Mark

Try an Exploration with code in the Filter tab.
Use the REF function. You'll need to decide what "priced" means -- just the close, a range of low to high, etc.
Post your code if you have any problems.

Thanks for the reply, but I am still unclear.

and $1.85.
I am only concerned about the low.

Have a go at doing the exercises in the free Equis formula primer and you will be able to write your own explorations, and more.

(Ref(L,-1)-.1) > L and
C > 1.15 and C "<" 1.85
this will find lower lows that are 10 cents or more below the previous low
on the last C
it should say close is less than 1.85

Ref(L,-1)-.1) > L AND C > 1.15 AND C Thanks for your help.
I made a couple changes to the above formula and it seems to be working. (Ref(L,-1)-.1) > L AND L < 1.15
Now, I am seeing what I want. Thanks again for your help, as I did not know where to begin!
Thanks, Mark
