Hello, I am new to the forum and struggling to learn more about MetaStock 9. This is a great place to learn and I wish to thank everyone that gives so freely of their time to help newies like me. I have picked up a lot from reading the posts but now need help in building an exploration. I'm not sure all of the following can be done in MetaStock, but here goes.
I would like to be able to scan for the top 3 performing industries in the past 30 days. Then I would like to find only the stocks that has options. Is it possible to do any of this?
From the above group of stock I would then look for all stock in which the 40 day weighted moving adverage is greater than the 80 day moving adverage. I think I would use this formula:
MOV(C,40,W)>MOV(C,80,W)
To narrow down my Picks I would then look for stocks making new 52 week Highs. I think the following formula is what I need:
if(h>ref(hhv(h,250),-1),h,0)
I would then like to be able to pull up the High, Low and Close for the At The Money Call strike price, closest In the Money Call strike price and closest Out of the Money Call strice price. (I am guessing this may not be possible).
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
