What I am trying to do is to find stocks whose volume AVERAGES 500,000 or more, over a 90-day period, and that are priced at $5.00 or less. I think this should be simple, but I shouldn't talk, as I can't figure it out. Please help! Thanks, Mark

I guess all I want to do is find stocks whose AVERAGE Volume over the last 90 days is 500,000 shares. Forget price. Can anyone help?
