pete, modified one of your scans but did not get the results I was looking for.

I modified the percentage loss and the yearly market days.

What I was trying to accomplish was to recover any losses on nasdaq of 15% in the last 33 market days.

The code you included in the attached PDF is correct. I'll give you an example so you can be sure. This is what the scan would compute for a stock that had a value of 20 for the highest in 33 trading days:

20 * (1 - (15.0 * 0.01)) = 17

To proof that, we simply take the difference between 20 and 17 and divide by 20:

(20 - 17) / 20 = 0.15 (that's 15%)

The code is 100% correct.

Edit: Just noticed the study filter on your screenshot is set to weekly. That will give you the past 33 weeks instead of the past 33 days. Simple to fix.

Pete, re-ran scan with daily, same results. Please look at net change and %change. Values are both positive and negative, plus they do not reflect losses of 15% or greater for 33 days. Also I tried to supply new pdf attachment but nowhere to place on additional comment. I don't know what I did wrong. thanks Bernie

Those columns, net change and percent change. If those are not custom columns you created yourself, then those two columns show net change and percent change for the most recent day of trading. Those columns have nothing to do with the scan. Totally unrelated and in no way are they connected.

pete, respectfully I did not know that, thanks. So can you kindly show me how to create those columns to get the results to reflect the 33 day losses, thanks again

That would need to be posted as a new question in the "Watch Lists" topic: https://www.hahn-tech.com/ans/cat/watchlists/ When you post the new question, be sure to include a link to this post so the rest of our viewers can follow along and get the full context.

Pete, I don't need a watchlist. I am just looking to change the labels in the scan to reflect 33 days with 15% or greater loses. Maybe I am lost or understand the concept, sorry Bernie

This is a watchlist. See, I'm getting chance to teach you some very important things here. Very glad we are having this discussion. I will repeat this so that you don't get confused. The results section below the filter criteria for the scan. That results section IS a watchlist. And you add and remove columns in that section EXACTLY the same as you do for any watchlist. So if you have not worked with custom watchlist columns yet I encourage you to spend some time reviewing our free tutorials on the topic to get up to speed. When are ready, go ahead and post that new question in the "Watch List" topic so we can get you up and running.
