Looking to Scan Stocks based on Weekly Volume

Quote from jono5900:

I want to thank those who gave suggestions and links. Bob, I really appreciate your taking the time to create and display the code.

That being said, it appears that your code is scanning for stocks who's volume for a particular day is X% greater than it's 30 week average.

I want to be able to run a scan, at the end of the week, and have it spit out those stocks who's weekly volume was X % greater than it's 10, 20 or 30 week average..big difference.

Also, it would be great to be able to create a watchlist and monitor it's volume against it's weekly volume and have a column that tally's what % of it's weekly volume it's done so far.

Anyway, I do appreciate the feedback and hopefully I'll find a program that can accommodate this.

Thanks,
J.

This is easy using aq.
Here is an example. From a watch list of 2000 stocks (NASDAQ and NYSE).
If X is 100%, there is all for the week 20070917-20070921.
All syms of the week vol is 100% greater than 30/20/10 week moving average.

It takes a few seconds to scan all stocks under my watch. I can do it free for you.
 
Quote from jono5900:

I'm tirelessly searching for an INEXPENSIVE/FREE Stock Scanner where I can, for example, request a print out of all Nasdaq stocks, between $1-$20 who's most recent Weekly Volume is X% greater than it's X Week Average Volume..or is on par, this week, to blow away it's usual weekly average

So, if a stock averages 5 million shares on a WEEKLY basis, I want to find a program that will notify me if it does 10 million on any particular week..Even better, alert me midweek that it's already at 100% of it's WEEKLY average volume. I also don't want to have to input symbols or do any "programming"

Is this too much to ask?

Please don't recommend Worden or Tradestation..etc..etc. as I'm not looking to spend that much..

Thanks in advance

I've got about 4,000 tickers input into Amibroker, which is very reasonable. It's got a proprietary, but very simple, language that could easily do what you're asking. It will scan through these 4,000 tickers in about 30 seconds. You can probably get Amibroker to email you, but why not take 30 seconds each night and just run it yourself?
