 [Today's CCI(14) value - the lowest CCI(14) value within the past 5 days] / [highest CCI(14) value within the past 5 days - lowest CCI(14) value over the past 5 days] * 100. The result is then smoothed by dividing by a MA(3)
 
 Thanks for any formula ideas and input

  mktmole,
 
 You pretty much have the filter, all you have to do is "translate it" to what StockFetcher can understand.  Look at the set{} command and CMA() function.  Give it a shot, and if you run into problems, post what you have and the issue...

  I 'believe' that the formula is Ok up until the 3 period simple custom MA and then things run a-muck.
 Thanks for any/your help Cegis;
 
 set{A, today CCI(14) value today}
 set{B, low CCI(14) 5 day low}
 set{C, high CCI(14) 5 day high}
 set{range1, A - B}
 set{range2, C - B}
 set{result,  range1 / range2 }
 set{result2,  result * 100 }
 set{CCI-STO,  result2 / CMA(3)}
 show stocks where CCI-STO is <  20 and increasing for 1 day
 
 Happy New Year to all.

  mktmole,
 
 If you look up the description of CMA (either in the new user guide [I assume it's there], in the announcements, or on yepher's page [you'd need to search these forums for the url]), you'll see that you need to tell it WHAT you want the CMA of!  E.g., CMA(result2, 3)
 
 Also, I'm not sure if SF will have a problem with using a set{} variable name that contains a hyphen.  (This is frequently a limitation in computing languages, so it's not confused with the 'minus' function.)  I'd suggest removing it from CCI-STO (maybe using CciSto?).
 
 Also, set{A, CCI(14)} is all you need.  The "today __ value today" is not required (and may cause SF grief)...
 
 And lastly, if you enclose your filter within Fetcher [ and ] (no space between fetcher and [), it will become a hot-link that will run the filter for readers of your posts.  This is tremendously helpful to people trying to help out...
 
 HTH,
 
 C
