  TRO, this is a very long thread with tons of filters.  I am curious about your "MTC Checker" concept to identify trading possibilities besides AAPL.  It seems that you define your triggers as fractions of a dollar, regardless of share price.  Did that change as the filter evolved?  For instance, this is one example from fairly early in the thread which identifies 3 stocks with a fair spread on underlying stock price (TSLA, GOOGL, TQQQ which range from ~ $100 to $550):

  That's right.  The buy zone does not change for stocks regardless of their share price.

  TRO, I am trying to modify your "MTC Checker" as shown in jimmyjazz 4/5/15 post.  I am trying to compare buying at the Open versus buying at Open plus 10 cents. I cannot get 
 
 set {hiop1, high - (open * 1.001)} to work. Any ideas? I would greatly appreciate your help. Ron(struggling newbie). Thanks and have a great weekend.

  You can only do ONE mathematical calculation in a SET{} statement.  You have two in this one.

  Kevin, Thank you for your help and quick reply. I added the first two set statements listed below with only one mathematical calculation in each set,  but I am still  getting "syntax errors". Any ideas?
 
 /* TRO MTC CHECKER */
 
 set{open1, (open*1.001) }
 set{ hiop, high - open1 }
 set{ up10, count( hiop > 0.09, 100 ) }
 set{ up50, count( hiop > 0.49, 100 ) }
 set{ pct1, up50 / up10 }
 set{winpct, 100 * pct1 }
 
 add column up10
 add column up50
 add column winpct
 
 
 up50 above 79

  This should work:
 
 
 /* TRO MTC CHECKER */ 
 
 set{open1, open * 1.001 } 
 set{ hiop, high - open1 } 
 set{ up10, count( hiop > 0.09, 100 ) } 
 set{ up50, count( hiop > 0.49, 100 ) } 
 set{ pct1, up50 / up10 } 
 set{winpct, 100 * pct1 } 
 
 add column up10 
 add column up50 
 add column winpct 
 
 
 up50 above 79
