Hello,
Is there a way to search for all the falling stocks? I want to be able to screen the stocks that I have downloaded the historical prices and just look at stocks that have been falling for say 2 weeks.
Now I am eyeballing every stock and it seems quite tiring[sn]. Is there a way to extract only the falling stocks from all the stocks? And then I will only eyeball this lot.
Thanks.

Sure, but will depend on how you define falling in the last two weeks.
For an easy one, just compare the close for today with the close X days ago, with a certain X percentage for example.
C<Ref(C*.96,-10)
You can change .96 (=fall 4%) to anything you would like.
Change -10 (10 periods) to anything you would like.

Thank you for your reply. I'm very new to Metastock.
Is it possible that in addition to the closing price being lower, can I also check that say 8 out of 10 past days were falling days? Graphically, this will be a consistent falling trend.

You can sum a condition for x number of days, i.e.:
Sum(C<Ref(C*.96,-1),10) >= 8
