I use TC2000 by setting up a few simple Formulas, then creating EasyScans from them. I have found it more flexible to be modular about this. For example, one of my Formulas is "Enough Volume And Price" which simply selects equities that have "enough" volume (currently I use a 50-day average volume of > 4000 (remember TC2000 counts volume in units of 100, so this really means 400,000 shares) and a Price of $5.00 per share or more.

So - why not just put these criteria directly into your EasyScans? For something like this that eliminates all stocks that are just out of range for some reason, it's better to make a Formula - because you may have made 50 EasyScans, each with Volume and Price specified, and then you decide to change one of those parameters. Instead of editing 50 different EasyScans, you can just edit the one Formula, and you're done. Here are some of the Formulas that I use.

If you'd like to submit one or more to be listed here, please email the Formula, the Name, your Name, and if you'd like to have your email linked to the Formula. If you'd like to use one of these Formulas, you can drag your mouse over it to select, then Ctrl-C to copy, create a new Formula in TC2000, and save it. I save with the submitter name as part of the name (e.g., "HamFon Enough Volume and Price") to be able to find all of mine (or someone elses) as a group.

)/21)
Formula in English: "Normalizes" the Bollinger Band Width by the Average True Range. This way, Bollinger Band squeezes (as well as wide expansions) can be more readily identified. Consolidation is indicated by values less than 1.0, while a large bandwidth alerts you of big moves. The formula implemented in PCF code is 2 * StandardDeviation (ClosePrice, 21) / (1.5 * AverageTrueRange (21)).
