What would the filter terminology be to identify stocks where the close 2 days ago is 2% or more higher than the close 3 days ago?
I tried:
Show stocks where Close gained more than 2 percent between 3 days ago and 2 days ago
This did not work.
Thanks
JB

Thanks nikoschopen. That is a very clean set-up.
I thought I'd try a slight variation and substituted Low for Close in the filter code. Results were not accurate. Would you post code using Low that works? And maybe the reason why Low does not work in the code which code works for Close?
You've provided good answers and explanations on this message board since I've been here. Thank-you.

So, if I'm not mistaken, ure looking for stocks that have moved at least 2% from its previous close to the low of the day. That is, the distance between yesterday's close and today's low must be 2% or greater.
When you use a qualifier like "gained more than", I believe (although I'm not sure) it applies only to the close. Hence I modified the filter to get around that restriction.
