You can't do this in Quotes Plus. Although you can use variables in your scans the variables have very limited capability. When running a scan when you store data in a variable for say stock A when Quotes Plus looks at the next stock in your list, Quotes Plus overwrites the stock A data with data from the next stock in your list. This means you can't for example count the number of new highs, new lows or stocks rising more than 5% with a Quotes Plus scan.
Another way, besides using Excel, around this limitation of Quotes Plus is to use a programming language like Python to calculate the statistics you are interested in on the results of your scans. Python is free and is very easy to use for routine tasks.

I want to generate a number of hits for a given scan and output that number to a println, something like this: println "Number of AMEX stocks hitting new lows =", "x"; println "Number of NASDAQ stocks with P/E < 10 =", "y"; Any ideas on how to do this? I've been casually kicking it around for a year or so but I can't come up with an elegant solution. Thanks! Yahoo! Groups Links ------------------------ Yahoo!
