How do I get results searching MULTIPLE filters at a time? I have two stock filters that rarely pull stocks so I want to combine both filters in one search box to generate results.

Yes, a great Idea.

Yes, it can be done. It would be easiest to show you if you post the two filters, but here is the way to do it.

You have two or more filters that each use a separate set of conditions for entry. Let's say one is a long filter and looks like

Fetcher[

RSI(2) below 1
average volume(50) above 10000000
close above 10
]



and the other is a short version of the same filter, and looks like

Fetcher[

RSI(2) above 99
average volume(50) above 10000000
close above 10
]



Clearly a simple combination of these two would result in 0 stocks returned, because the two RSI requirements are mutually exclusive. But if you use the "count" function as follows, you can get both long and short plays to be pulled up in the same filter. It's done as follows:

Fetcher[

set{entry1, count(average volume(50) above 10000000, 1)}
set{entry2, count(close above 10, 1)}
set{entry, entry1 * entry2}

set{long1, count(rsi(2) below 1,1)}
set{long, entry * long1}

set{short1, count(rsi(2) above 99,1)}
set{short, entry * short1}

set{sum, long + short}

sum above 0.5

add column long
add column short

]



This coding is not really laid out in the SF user manual, but if you look around the forum you'll find examples of thse types of work-arounds.

Hope this helps.
