Good to hear you got it working.  I don't run 
this exact scan, but yes I do run a ranking scan daily.  I contributed the 
Turnover Ranking as an example,  Perhaps of interest to you was a 
discussion on whether this particular formula for turnover was the best as 
opposed to MA(V * Close ,sov1). 
see <A

>Just add 
MA(V,sov1) * Close >= foreign>("~Top200Vol","C"); to my system and 
that's it. Does that sound OK?What you suggest sounds right to 
me

  by volume
  Andrew,Excellent!! :-) got it going, thanks for 
  your time and your code. I didn't understand how it worked and now that I 
  see it on a chart, I doesn't look like it's necessary to do it month by 
  month as I mentioed in my previous post. Just add MA(V,sov1) * Close >= 
  foreign("~Top200Vol","C"); to my system and that's it. Does that sound 
  OK?Do you run this daily prior to Scaning for signals?Thanks
