gap filter

["David Rowe" <drowe@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Jerry,
 
How about:
 
barssince( (gapup()+gapdown()) <> 0 ) > 
10
This should pass securities for which there have 
been no gaps in the last 10 days.
 

barssince( gapup() <> 0 ) > 
10

This should pass securities for which there have 
been no gaps up the last 10 days.
 

barssince( gapdown() <> 0 ) > 
10

This should pass securities for which there have 
been no gaps down in the last 10 days.
 
Note this from MetStock's help:
 
"Important:  When using the barssince() function in an exploration, 
you must choose the "Load ___ Records" button in the Explorer Options dialog 
(see Explorer Options) and specify a value equal to the number of bars loaded in 
your chart; otherwise, the exploration results may not be accurate."
 
I think you can just use a big number for "Load ___ Records," like 5000 
(about 20 years).
 
Is this what you were looking for?
 
David
