This might be a very stupid question but I do I call the variable I set
example:
Set {GreenBar, Close > Open}
I am trying to define GreenBar so that I can use that later in a a code say like GreenBar 1 day ago.
Please advise if this is the best way to go about it. Also can you use and in a set syntax for example
Set {GreenBar, Close > Open and Volume > 200000} or maybe Set {GreenBar, Close > Open, Volume > 200000}

Thanks @four but how do I call the variable? When run Set {GB1ago, Close 1 day ago > Open 1 day ago} it gives me 0 stocks when I say
show stocks where GB1ago is true it gives me an error
also can I have multiple criteria in the same variable definition?

1. Just add the line "GB1ago above 0" to get only those stocks which meet that criterion.
2. No - you can only have one mathematical or logical operation per set{} statement, but you can get more than one at the same time by doing the following (generic example):
set{variable1, count(close above close 1 day ago,1)}
set{variable2, count(average volume(30) above 500000,1)}
now each of these will give you a 0 if it is not met, or a 1 if it is met. If both must be met, then just multiply them together.
set{variable3, variable1 * variable2}
then say "variable3 above 0" to get only those stocks that meet both criteria.
