set{td1, todays high - todays low }
set{td2,todays high - yesterdays close}
set{td3,yesterdays close - todays low }

pa247, StockFetcher doesn't like your syntax. Use this instead:

Filter works fine. Look at the columns. Use as you intended.

a few observations:
a. I don't believe the last filter posted is working as intended as the phrase "yesterdays close' seems to be interpreted by SF as today's closing value.
b. if you add columns for each of the values used in the computations you'll see what I mean, (high, low, close 1 day ago, yesterdays close, todays low, etc.)
c. It looks like pa247 is calculating Wilder's True Range for the most current day, a simpler approach might be to use SFs Average True Range function with a period of 1 day:
ATR(1)
with the added benefit of making the filter much shorter.
Hope this helps,
Ed S.
