Hi Alan,
With AB there's usually more than one way to skin a cat. I prefer
explorations over scans for most purposes as I can display more information
about the output beyond buy and sell.
For example, I have an more extensive market relationships
exploration, a snippet of which follows which does what you asked about (I
think). This needs ver 5.2 or higher to run to total the columns of the
exploration. The benefit for me is that I am calculating a number of
relationships (e.g., price up & volume down) besides just price up and
price down and I can display them all after one exploration as a line of code at
the top of the exploration.

=============================================================
/*
PRICE--Volume RELATIONSHIPS
Run this exploration on different watchlists for S&P 500, Russell 2000,
NAZ 100, etc, stocks.
BREADTH
Breadth is a term referring to the number of rising versus the number of
falling stocks.
Breadth offers an alternative method of judging strength -- versus market
averages.
Breadth Grouping: Any group of stocks that have something in common. example
the 500 stocks of the S&P 500 can be used as a Breadth Grouping (which I
do). A group of bellwethers (which we choose subjectively, according to our own
experience) can serve as a Breadth Grouping. The Semiconductor index compontnts
as an example. Another is the Naz largest market cap stocks.
/*
Version(5.20); // requires
v5.20
Filter = 1;
BreadthUP = C > Ref(
C, -1 );
BreadthDown = C < Ref( C, -1 );
AddColumn (C, "Last
", 3.2, colorYellow, colorBlue, 75);
AddColumn (IIf(BreadthUP, 1, 0) , "BreadthUP", 8.0, colorWhite, colorDarkGreen );
AddColumn (IIf(BreadthDown, 1, 0) , "BreadthDown", 8.0, colorRed, colorBlack );
AddSummaryRows (1,3.0,4,5);

Scan or Exploration
Hi
Prashanth:
Yes this is what I am trying to do and thanks for the
code. I tried the code and got error messages for both the Scan and
Exploration modes. I am trying to resolve the
errors.
Regards,
Alan

Hello,
If you are looking to get the figure of Advancing Stocks
(stocks that have
closed above yesterday's close) and Declining Stocks,
you could use Add to
Composite to create a ticker so that you can
co-relate today's figure with
historical figure.
To do this, just
place the following in a AFL and hit Scan (All Symbols, All
Quotations).
When the scan finishes, you should be able to get 2 tickers for
Advancing, Declining stocks.
Filter = 1;
//
==================== Adv
Issues/Decliners==============
AddToComposite(IIf(Close -
Ref(Close, -1) > 0, 1, 0), "~Adv", "X"
);
AddToComposite(IIf(Ref(Close, -1) - Close > 0, 1, 0), "~Dec",
"X" );
Cheers
Prashanth
