  Welliot, I just ran your syntax with my filter and it seems to only be returning results where the avg. volume(90) was above 75% for the present day not above 75% for any of the preceding 5 days including the current. day.......

  Welliot, the filter is still not returning the desired results even with me removing today equals 1
 
 Anyone else want to try and take a stab at this?

  If you're combining filters, there may be a conflict between the two... If you post your filter maybe someone can help.

  I decided to join StockFetcher today ....
 
 I think this is what you are looking for.....
 
  	    
 
  lots of potential here !
 ...a little tweeking with this screen, and some great short candidates pop up !
 (I weeded out the low volume, and get rid of the pennies, and straight to the bank !
 ... let me know if this works for you ....

  /*compare current x days average volume with y days average volume x days ago*/
 set{x,5}
 set{y,80}
 
 /*total volume in x+y days*/
 set{all, avgvol(85)*85}
 
 /*total volume in current x days*/
 set{current, AvgVol(5) *5}
 
 /*total volume in y days x days ago*/
 set{before, all - current}
 
 /*average volume in y days x days ago*/
 set{avg_before, before/80}
 
 set{ratio, avgvol(5)/avg_before}
 add column ratio
 
 price is above 3
 average volume(20) > 200000
 ratio is above 1.75
 sort column 5 ascending

  I revised my code to incorporate the sleeker count method (thanks) .... but surprisingly it dropped 2 stocks from the results ... it is only two ...   Anyways ... I believe it gives rock solid results.  Check it out:

  Cacher and everyone else, thanks for your help
 
 Here is my filter with some of the things you added. This is still in the works. I am also trying to get syntax for the following to add to the filter:
 
 Show stocks where price is 1% less than or equal to the previous days close 
 and/or stocks where price is less than or equal to 1% above the previous days close
 
 I am trying to catch shooting stars here but want my syntax to be more robust so that I am not only returning results for doji's as that would likely have very few returns (thus the 1% above or below previous days close syntax)
 
 I use the filter when I believe the market is near a top. If you run the filter around 3 o'clock and the stock is trading just below the previous days close and you have somewhat of a doji forming at the top of what was a pretty good run for the last couple of days and strong volume, momentum is likely changing and you have a short candidate going into the next day. I usually place a stop slightly above the high of the day of entry. 
 
 Again, your help has been appreciated. Let me know your thoughts!
 
 
 Show 5 day slope of DMA(28,-14)
 and DMA(28,-14)is more than 3% below close 
 and EMA(13) is above DMA(28,-14)
 
 and price near top linear regression line(100)
 and price above 5.00
 
 avgvol(90) > 300000
 
 /* Volume 75% above average volume(90) within the last 5 days */
 set{av90,average volume(90)}
 set{abve75,av90*1.75}
 
 set{highVOLin5days,count(volume greater then abve75,5)} 
 
 /* if highVOLin5days is greater then 0 then it happened */
 show stocks where highVOLin5days is greater then 0
 
 /* now test if OVERBOUGHT */
 and Slow Stochastic(5,5) Fast %K is greater then 82
 
 add column highVOLin5days
