Greetings,
How can I get the previous trading days close? In other words so I can filter like so: "previous close > 5" for a stock.
How can I filter on market? In other words so I can filter like so: "market = DIA" and get a list of stocks for only the DIA market.
Please advise.
Thanks

Thank you, that got me further.
I still have an issue. I don't believe the following line is working as intended. I am trying to divide the result of the art(14) function by that of the prior days close and include if result is greater than 5 It is not working thought because I am returning stocks with less than 5 for atr. Please advise. Thanks...
And (atr(14) / close 1 day ago) > 5

Not sure if the daily range can actually be 5 times larger than the price. Think about it ...

Great, getting closer, thanks.
Next question,
how can I filter on just one ticker/symbol or market index like the market symbol/Index for NYSE?
For example: select stock where symbol = ^GSPC
Thanks in advance for everyone's help.

SF will not return indices as the result of any filter. However, you can use them as part of a filter, and graph them if you want. Just use syntax like this (change to whatever index you want) - this will create a variable that can be used/plotted that is the closing price data for the index:
set{VIX, ind(^VIX, close)}
or
set{SP_RSI, ind(^SPX, rsi(2))}
in the second example, you can plot or use the RSI(2) value (or any other value) for the index.

"Select stocks where market is NYSE" works fine for NYSE but I cannot seem to make it work for the S&P 500, the NASDAQ, the Dow or any others for that matter.
Please advise, thanks in advance.

Greetings all,
Firstly, happy Thanksgiving to all!
Admittedly I am new at trading. What is the difference between a "market" and an "exchange"?
Please advise.
Thanks...
