 I added this line to the selection criteria:
 
 count(high equal open, 100) equal 0
 
 I believe that finds the stocks you are really looking to find.

 TRO,
 
 A thousand thanks to you kind sir.
 
 I was unwittingly beating my head all yesterday against the PP wall, oblivious to its Pivot Point status!
 
 I appreciate your added tweaks as well.
 
 You are a God-send.
 
 Have a wonderful New Year's day.
 
 Thank you.
 
 Jim

 Happy new years Avery !
 I love the way this filter shows statistical probability of profit. The less profit your willing to take, the higher your probability of a success trade. Thank you TRO,
 for your willingness to help traders like me, learn how to trade successful.

 TRO,
 
 I am trying to build an additional filter as an adjunct to your OPEN TO HIGH that gives me the following twelve column info (providing for the # of times that the stock in the past 100 trading days has fallen within the following):
 
 < 0      0-10%      11-20%      21-30%      31-40%      41-50%      51-60%
 
 
 61-70%      71-80%       81-90%       91-100%      >100
 
 The following will hopefully demonstrate where I'm at, and where I'm not at, in this process.
 
 Fetch[ /* Open to High % Stat Filter for Past 100 Trading Days */
 
 set{xPP, high - open}
 
 set{B00A, count(xpp < .00, 100)}
 set{B01A, count(xPP > .00 , xPP < .11 , 100)}
 set{B02A, count(xPP > .10 , xPP < .21 , 100)}
 set{B03A, count(xPP > .20 , xPP < .31 , 100)}
 set{B04A, count(xPP > .30 , xPP < .41 , 100)}
 set{B05A, count(xPP > .40 , xPP < .51 , 100)}
 set{B06A, count(xPP > .50 , xPP < .61 , 100)}
 set{B07A, count(xPP > .60 , xPP < .71 , 100)}
 set{B08A, count(xPP > .70 , xPP < .81 , 100)}
 set{B09A, count(xPP > .80 , xPP < .91 , 100)}
 set{B10A, count(xPP > .90 , xPP < 1.01 , 100)}
 set{B11A, count(xPP > 1.00)}
 
 and add column B00A {< 0}
 and add column B01A {0-10%}
 and add column B02A {11-20%}
 and add column B03A {21-30%}
 and add column B04A {31-40%}
 and add column B05A {41-50%}
 and add column B06A {51-60%}
 and add column B07A {61-70%}
 and add column B08A {71-80%}
 and add column B09A {81-90%}
 and add column B10A {91-100%}
 and add column B11A {> 100}
 and add column separator
 
 /* SELECTION CRITERIA */
 
 and Average Volume > 100000
 
 SYMLIST( )
 
 /* SORT CRITERIA */
 
 /* Notes: xPP = Potential Profit */ ]
 
 My debugger spits out the following:
 
 Count: 'xpp > .00 , xpp < .11 ' too many phrases within count construct
 Count: 'xpp > .00 , xpp < .11 ' too many phrases within count construct
 Count: 'xpp > .00 , xpp < .11 ' too many phrases within count construct
 Count: 'xpp > .00 , xpp < .11 ' too many phrases within count construct
 
 ... etc.
 
 Are there any other ways to phrase these counts without violating syntax?
 
 I appreciate any help that you can offer.
 
 Thank you,
 
 Jim

 Count: 'xpp > .00 , xpp < .11 ' too many phrases within count construct
 
 Count(xpp between 0.00 and 0.11,100)
 Count(xpp between 0.12 and 0.21,100)
 Count(xpp between 0.22 and 0.31,100)
 and so on & so forth...

 TRO or nikoschopen,
 
 My filter is still glitching.  Below is an abbreviated edition to avoid the 10 { } limit that pops up with some inaugural scan building.  The debug comments are included:
 
 /* Open to High % Stat Filter for Past 100 Trading Days */
 
 set{xPP, high - open}					                            OK
 set{B01A, count(xPP between .00 and .10 , 100)		     OK
 set{B02A, count(xPP between .11 and .20 , 100)}              OK
 set{B03A, count(xPP between .21 and .30 , 100)}  	     OK
 set{B04A, count(xPP between .31 and .40 , 100)}	             OK
 
 ... etc. Here's where it gets funky:
 
 and add column B01A {0-10}	     Error: Syntax error in filter. Variable: 'count(xpp' undefined Warning: 'b01a' Syntax Error: count(xpp between .00 and .10 , 100) and set{b02a, count(xpp between .11 and .20 , 100)
 
 and add column B02A {11-20}	     Error: Syntax error in filter. Warning: 'b01a' Syntax Error: count(xpp between .00 and .10 , 100) and set{b02a, count(xpp between .11 and .20 , 100)
 
 and add column B04A {31-40}	     Error: Syntax error in filter. Warning: 'b01a' Syntax Error: count(xpp between .00 and .10 , 100) and set{b02a, count(xpp between .11 and .20 , 100)
 
 and add column separator	     Error: Syntax error in filter. Warning: 'b01a' Syntax Error: count(xpp between .00 and .10 , 100) and set{b02a, count(xpp between .11 and .20 , 100)
 
 and Average Volume > 100000	     Error: Syntax error in filter. Warning: 'b01a' Syntax Error: count(xpp between .00 and .10 , 100) and set{b02a, count(xpp between .11 and .20 , 100)
 
 SYMLIST( )	     Error: Syntax error in filter. Warning: 'b01a' Syntax Error: count(xpp between .00 and .10 , 100) and set{b02a, count(xpp between .11 and .20 , 100)
 
 I piddled around with the numbers initially, thinking that the syntax error had something to do with overlapping my original set of numbers but that doesn't seem to be the case.
 
 If you get some free time could you give it a look at your convenience?  Your expertise is appreciated.
 
 Jim

 You left out the duration in the last line:
 set{B11A, count(xPP > 1.00,100)}
