This filter was working fine until I added the "within the last # days"
qualifier and it produces less hits the longer number of days you enter into the range.
It should produce more hits on each incremental increase of the number of days as the greater length of time should allow for more opportunities for the filter to find positive hits.

Contradiction is that Each additional day reduces the number of hits instead.

Can someone please tell me what is wrong and what if anything I have misunderstood about the within # days function?

Thanks Michael

Current vs of filter:

Fetcher[set {VolStrength1, Avg Vol(10)}
set {VolStrength2, Volume / VolStrength1}
set {VolStrength, VolStrength2*100}
add column VolStrength {VOL-STRENGTHl}
show stocks where VolStrength > 250 within the last 1 week
draw VolStrength
]



Tried a lot a variations to no avail. Still can get the within qualifier to work.

Thanks, Michael

The filter is giving the number of stocks that VolStrength > 200 "for" the last x days, which is correct and would decrease as x increases. Maybe what you want is the count function to get the number.

Not sure whether this is what you are looking for but it does work

Fetcher[
set {VolStrength1, Avg Vol(10)}
set {VolStrength2, Volume / VolStrength1}
set {VolStrength, VolStrength2*100}
add column VolStrength {VOL-STRENGTHl}
show stocks where VolStrength has been above 250 for 1 week
draw VolStrength

"1 day ago" :returns: 958 matches
"within the last 2 days" :returns: 1616 matches
"within the last 3 days" :returns: 2288 matches
"within the last 4 days" :returns: 2761 matches



..or..
