Does anyone know how to write a filter that picks all stocks where the last 3 digits in today's volume is 321?
Or what are some other ways a person can write a completely random screen?

Volume usually ends in 00, doesn't it?
Anyway, 123 returns 0. but if you change the equal 123 to equal 500 or 100, you get stocks.
HTH.

Ok traderblues...this begs the question...what is the point of writing random screen? Nothin better to do?

Didn't someone once say that picking stocks at random does better than 90% of the professional portfolio managers?

max,
Just a personal challenge. I've read in a couple of books that you can make money with a good system that just picks buys at random. That forces a person to really focus on the sell side and money management.
Thanks, TRO, but I'm not getting any hits. I'm a little slow tonight and can't really follow your logic. Maybe 123 is too strict? (never mind - I just didn't read your whole post.)
