I'm new here and learning to modify existing filters and write my own. I know how to create custom variables, but I don't understand what this one is doing...

set{A10A, count(Long_Profit > .10 , 1)}
set{chg, sum( A10A - A10A 1 day ago ,5)}

A10A = number of times profit was >.10 in last day, so 1 or zero I assume??

chg = what exactly is that sum adding up?

Also random question - why are some rows in filter results shaded blue? Are these the stocks that will go up the most? :)

Thanks to whoever answers, and to everyone else - have a great weekend!
Mike

1, those lines won't work as is, because the variable, long_profit has not been defined.


2, shaded blue results are instruments that you saved to your watchlist already.

Hi Chetron - I know the variable isn't defined there, I just copied a piece of code from a bigger scan from TRO. I think Long Profit is just (hi-open)/open.

Thanks,
M

it looks like it sums up how many times a10a is greater than 0 for the last 5 days. you can see the relationship if you use the "draw" command for all variables of concern, that's what i do.
