I wanted to use an OR expression like (A or B or C) where A,B,C are True or False results. Then, I learned that SF doesn't allow OR expressions. So, I converted the OR expression to an AND expression using a Truth Table. (A or B or C) equivalent to NOT(-A and -B and -C).
However, now I need to use a NOT function. But I don't believe I can use NOT in StockFetcher. Does anyone know a 'workaround' for NOT?

Search the forums for "complete logic system".
Always use the search function before posting - you'll usually find that the answer is there.

I did search for boolean NOT and read all there was in that thread including stuff about using set statements to create If-Then constructs. Just now I tried searching for "complete .." as you suggested with no results... Is there a write up somewhere here on a work-around for the NOT Boolean function?

Kevin's post did give the answer. Try again.

His answer "NOT Implementation" doesn't work for me. I'm a newbie, trying very hard to learn this programming language. The problem may be that I can't use the method because my components are incorrect. I'm trying to test for a series of comparisons between averages. My challenge is testing for NOT(Average(10)>Average(20) AND Average(20)>Average(50)). I tried two methods and both failed.
METHOD 1
Set{T1,Count(Average(10) above Average(20),1)}
Set{T2,Count(Average(20) above Average(50),1)}
Set{T3, T1+T2}
Show stocks where T3 is above 0
METHOD 2
Set{D1, Average(10)-Average(20)}
Set{D12, Count(D1 above 0,1)}
Set{D2, Average(20)-Average(50),1)}
Set{D22, Count(D2 above 0,1)}
Set{D, D12 + D22}
Show stocks where D above 0
Please help me learn what I am doing wrong here.
I appreciate any guidance you can give me.

Yes, thanks for TRO and others ...
Currently StockFetcher does not support conditional boolean logic directly. This is due to the potentially enormous computational impact it might have on StockFetcher's servers. There are, however, some work-arounds which may accomplish any boolean logic (or/if conditions). See the following forum posts for some solutions:
