Thanks so much for the reply! It *was* looking kind of quiet in here. 8)

StockFetcher looks pretty good. I'll play with it some more over the weekend. I *think* I'm going to be SOL on what I'm trying to scan for though. I was hoping to find something that would let me adjust the periodicity of indicators like RSI and Wm %R.

Example: If you go to someplace like stockcharts.com and display RSI(14) and/or Williams%R(14) the results are different when you switch from Daily to a Weekly chart. I want to create scans that include that "weekly" number.

On the surface it sounds like a pretty easy thing to do but having a programming background I appreciate the additional layer of complexity it would add to the scanning routines. ;) That, of course, won't stop me from stomping my foot and whining a lot.

I **think** I've resigned myself to trimming up the results with a scan of another component I want and eyeballing the charts with various periodicities. In that case I'll probably end up using Ameritrade's Advanced Analyzer (not really all that bad if you aren't frustrating yourself trying to figure out stuff like this).
