Hi,

I'm fairly new to Stockfetcher and I've been developing some filters that I'm already finding quite useful. What I want to know is of there is away of screening for different setups in one filter.

A simple example would be if I wanted to screen for stocks that have gapped up in the last 10 days:

Show stocks where open 10 days ago is more than 10% above close 11 day ago (will give me the results for a gap up 10 days ago)

Is it possible to do something like:

Show stocks where open 10 days ago is more than 10% above close 11 day ago

OR

Show stocks where open 9 days ago is more than 10% above close 10 day ago

OR

.....

I'm sure there's a simple way of doing this but my extremely basic programming skills combined with very little experience with stockfetcher is letting me down. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.



....

Fetcher[Set {GapTest, Open / Close 1 day ago}
Set {GapTest2, Count (GapTest > 1.1,10)}
GapTest2 > 0
]



The first set compares the open to the previous close, the second counts the number of times that value is greater than 1.1 over the last 10 days. The last statement includes if there has been a gap. You'll want to filter more, otherwise too many penny stocks.

Fetcher[set{condition1, count(open more than 10% above close 1 days ago,10)}
condition1 > 0
]



Results somewhat more than from my first post -- I think that "more than" may be more like >= instead of just >.

wantonellis's response uses the stockfetcher equivalent of an "OR" function.
