guspenskiy . What kind of spread were you seeing on SCTY. All morning the spread has been .10 or higher. I do not day trade much but I know you need a tight spread for success.Your thoughts?

Around 5 cents as I remember when I traded it, sometimes a bit higher.
I moved into volatility since then.
If you want really tight spreads, look at TVIX....tightest you can get lol.

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
