Does anyone know of a way to compare the value of the Ult Osc between today and yesterday (ideally I'm looking for the values to be the same or within X% of each other). Any help would be appreciated.

This filter finds stocks where the ultimate oscillator is above the ultimate oscillator 1 day ago but it's less than 1% above.

Fetcher[set{mv, ultimate oscillator}
show stocks where mv above mv 1 day ago
mv less than 1% above mv 1 day ago
stock is optionable
price above 1

Perfect. Is there also a way to do comparisons on a week by week or month by month basis ? i.e. look at the Ult Osc value averaged over the last 5 days compared to the Ult Osc value averaged over the previous week period?

I found the syntax for weekly but I am confused. The 1 day "flat" worked perfectly (only returned 1 stock with the Ult Osc exactly the same as 1 day ago. The weekly syntax returns 0 stocks which could be correct but when I add in an additional "and" criteria I get a bunch of stocks (I was expecting results to still be 0). What am I doing wrong? Here is my formula:

set{mv, ultimate oscillator(6,14,28)}
show stocks where weekly mv equal weekly mv 1 week ago
and stocks are optionable

gmcnally1, I would highly recommend you download the fetcher user guide to get more familiar with the syntax. It takes some time to go through but will be well worth your while. In the meantime following is the syntax you need to use:

Fetcher[set{mv, weekly ultimate oscillator(6,14,28)}
show stocks where mv equals mv 1 week ago
and stocks are optionable
chart-display is weekly
