 Anyone know the correct syntax to search for stocks that had a 1 day gain of a certain percentage, (say 20%) w/in the last 30 days?
 
 This is what i have but it returns either the cumulative gain or today's gain, rather than the percentage gain on 1 day within the last 30 days:
 
 "price gain more than 20 percent in the last 30 days"
 "price gain more than 20 percent on 1 day within last 30 days"
 
 thanks a lot

 Thanks Kevin!
 
 What is the "gain above 0.5"?   50 cents?

 GAIN IS THE USER DEFINED VARIABLE I CREATED TO GET THE NUMBER OF TIMES A GIVEN STOCK ROSE 30% IN A SINGLE DAY.
 
 THE "COUNT" FUNCTION WITHIN THAT VARIABLE RETURNS THE NUMBER OF TIMES THE STOCK MET THAT CRITERIA.
 
 SO BY SAYING "GAIN ABOVE 0.5" ALL I AM ASKING IS THAT THE FILTER RETURN ANY STOCK WHERE THAT CONDITION WAS MET IN THE PAST 30 DAYS.

 Sorry about the ALL CAPS in my last message - not yelling.
