HOT LIST scan!

The scanning software I use is StockFetcher. It is web based and can be found at stockfetcher.com.
I thought I would share a scan I use at the beginning of every week to make what I call the "hot list" of stocks whose Average Day Range (10) is greater than Average Day Range (30). In addition I have combined this with Avery Horton's "Run Forest Run" scan that shows how many times a stock has run a given percentage in recent history. This gives me a really good idea of what stocks are in play and getting attention - not from the news, but from buyers/sellers!

I want to find the stocks that are not just volatile, but getting more volatile, and this scan really can pick them up. This is also a good scan to use if you can't watch as many stocks as traders like Muddy, because it filters it down a lot more than the RFR or Deadly Combo scans.


show stocks where average day range(30) is greater than 15
and average day range(30) is less than average day range(10)
and close is between 1 and 15
and average volume(90) is above 100000

set{volcnt, count(volume above 50000, 100) }
set{volzero, count(volume equal 0, 100) }

set{x1, high - open}
set{Long_Profit, x1/open }

set{C1A, count(Long_Profit > .04 , 100)}
set{C2A, count(Long_Profit > .09, 100)}
set{C0010, C1A - C2A}

set{D1A, count(Long_Profit > .09 , 100)}
set{D2A, count(Long_Profit > .19, 100)}
