Hi Hitman,
I can offer a couple of suggestions if your intent upon getting the Metastock program, which in my mind will give you the ability to seek the special occurrences your looking for, and more if you have a future need. I have used Omega's products for years and think that the EOD products (Supercharts/Metastock) are fairly similar in capabilities. The interfaces differ.
Pullbacks and breakouts have been my area of interest.
*ATR- average true range indicator
*BBW- bollinger band width indicator
*HVR- historic volatility ratio indicator
*SDI- standard deviation indicator
Using 1 or more of the above, you can hone in on those securities that are "poised" to move. I realize this is not exactly what you were asking for and I have no idea if you can sort in Metastock based on Exchange/Industry.
http://www.QP2.com is a nice program for other reasons.
BTW - I enjoy reading about how your day went.
The above represent my opinions and experience.
I hope this helps.
