the beginning and end of the day than in the middle.

accompanied by volume increases are likely to be more significant 
than price increases with little volume increase. I must admit I'm 
one of many who don't pay as much attention to volume as I should.

The code you were kind enough to share is very useful in terms of 
further refining my scans which (until now) have not really 
considered volume as a determining factor. Indicator code also very 
useful.

Two questions if I may ....

I assume that I need to change the dates each day accordingly on the 
following lines of code as appropriate:

TradeDate1 = 1041117; // trade date 1 day ago
TradeDate2 = 1041116; // trade date 2 days ago
TradeDate3 = 1041115; // trade date 3 days ago
TradeDate4 = 1041112; // trade date 4 days ago
TradeDate5 = 1041111; // trade date 5 days ago
TradeDate6 = 1041110; // trade date 6 days ago
TradeDate7 = 1041109; // trade date 7 days ago
TradeDate8 = 1041108; // trade date 8 days ago

Question 2 - Do I need any modifications to following line on an 
ongoing basis? Guess I'm not sure how/if the "(3)" in this line of 
code affects the scan or whether I need to concern myself. (Getting 
up to speed on AFL language but still much to learn.)

Filter = DateNum()==Now(3)


Thanks again & best regards,



Dean
