Hi Team, l am way out of my league here, but am playing with chart software and the share market for the first time after reading a few books.
But the way you have to write a filter formula is giving me the yips, some help please.
I wish to write a formula to find companys on the ASX which have reached a yearly high in the last week. In another chart system it may look like
H(W):=:MAX(52,W)
also must have made a profit and paid dividend, AND PER(D):>:0 AND DIVYD(D):>:0
Obviously l didnt come up with the above formulas, but if l can get the examples for the above l can then see against the QS pdfs l have, how to go about writing other formulas
You people out there must be comfortable using this software and feel it is worth its value?, as l have a trial period. I never saw a $ for the charting system. What is the $?.

Thanks in advance

Hi Kevin,

- To find companies that have reached a yearly high in the last week, open the screener tool (Analysis -> Screener), select a weekly time frame then type the following formula:

filter = (high == hhv(high, 52));

- For dividend and other fundamental items, you must download the data first then read it using the "GetData" function:

- On the formula editor, click on "Add Method" or "Add Indicator" to display the available functions.

- The price of a lifetime license is $245.
