I hope this discussion continues. I have never really looked 
at scanning for volatility before but it certainly makes sense. Reading the MS 
manual about ATR and volatility leaves me more than a little confused. 

1. Is it correct that an ATR level that is high for one stock 
will not be high for another (therefore difficult to scan).
2. I read in one place that low volatility is associated with 
bottoms and in another place that low volatility indicates an approaching top. 
Can't be both, can it?

  I'm fond of ATR and easy to write scans using 
  ATR.

    Indicator?
    I'm interested in refining my scans by filtering for 
    stocks that regularly move enough to make a swing trade worth my while. 
    On the one hand I want volatility, but on the other hand not too much 
    volatility. I like stocks that move in a somewhat orderly 
    fashion.I'm hoping some of you technophiles will have some 
    suggestions. So what would be a good indicator to add to my filter and 
    experiment with? Beta? 
    ATR?Thanks,HaroldTo unsubscribe from
