I am trying to use a minimum average volume filter in my strategy AVG(V,30) >= 200000. I am looking for stocks that have a minimum average volume of 200,000 in past 30 days. It doesn't seem to be working the way I think it should. I would appreciate any insight. Thank you.

Try

Ema(v,30)>200000

You can also find the answer in seminars and also looking at previous made omniscans for examples

The key word here is "minimum" - that means you need the "LLV" function involved.

This is checks that the volume in the last 30 bars was always above 200,000 shares:
LLV(Volume,30) > 200000

If you truly want the 30-bar AVERAGE to be checked, and if you want the SIMPLE moving average, then this assures that the lowest 30-bar Simple MA value was always above 200000 during the past 30 bars:
LLV( SMA(V,30), 30 ) > 200000

Or, you can substitute "E" for "S" above, to check an exponential MA.

Please note - when you make requests like this it is best to be very clear and very precise how you word them.

Thanks guys as always you have solved my problem. I also apologize for not being more specific. Honestly, I didn't really think there would be more than one way to interpret my request. I see now how language can make such a huge impact on how the program interprets your request. Well it's a learning curve, and I have a feeling it is not accomplished overnight.
