This is from one of my earlier posts:
Ed S.
"here are my 8 other reliable options/places, that I use to find SF coding info when trying to write a filter.
1. There is another SF User Manual created by an SF user is at
https://web.archive.org/web/20150914021151/http://yepher.com/stockfetcher/command.html
2. There is a SF Forum entitled "Announcements" where some coding commands have been introduced over the years but not added to the Indicators and Measures Forum.
3. There is another SF Forum entitled "Filter Phrases" where some additional useful info can be found.
4. At the top of your SF webpage there is an "Examples" tab which if selected will give us a list of coded examples for many different situations and which ends at 'Max of MACD Fast/Slow crossed above 0'.
Each one is clickable as a stand alone filter or you can copy it into your own.
5. For some reason the list of SF Examples is cutoff in the M's but the complete list can be found in the SF Ipad App and there are quite a few more examples.
To make them your own save them inside a new filter on the Ipad app and then open them up in My Filters when you go back to your PC/browser.
6. Go to the Indicators Forum and click on any indicator, then go to the top left and click on the underligned name of the poster which in this case is "StockFetcher". and you'll be taken to list of all of StockFetcher's post over the years which will have some hidden gems and other useful info.
A lot there but reading thru it may prove useful to some.
7. Go to the SF search bar at the top of the Forums screen and enter "Tomb" then click on first result and do the same as in 6. above to find Tomb's historical posts.
He was a very helpful SF help desk guy apparently and you'll find many unrevealed commands in there.
8..Finally, do a search on "Logic ands and ors", then click on first result and scroll down the first post written by "Cegis" and do the same as in 6. above to find Cegis's historical posts which contain some great examples and explanations of unique SF coding logic."

I think that writing filters has actually made me more of an informed trader. Having looked at SO many of the legacy filters written by TRO and many other SF OG's, and modified them for my trading plan, it is now easy to read charts made by others and see what kind of technical indicators that they are using to produce their results. I GREATLY appreciate the public contributions that many have made to make SF a platform for noobs and experienced traders alike. The journey continues...

Have StockFetcher run your filter using a certain date:
date offset 03/02/2025
Have StockFetcher plot a line for a value using a certain date:
set{var1,DATE(20250302,close)}
draw var1 on plot price

a "do not draw" command creates a syntax error if the variable has not been previously used in your filter.
