set(h,high - low)
show stocks where h is below .04
and price is below 2.00
and price is above .05"

"Syntax # Results Filter Text

@ben,

A few of things I found:

a. Your set command has regular parentheses instead of the { } ones that the set command requires.

Once I made that change your filter syntax check was green for all lines.

b. However you chose the Nasdaq 100 market so your filter will never return any stocks as nothing in the Nasdaq 100 has a price lower than $2.

c. When I run your filter with only the first line SF returns 97 symbols yet currently the Nasdaq 100 consists of 104 symbols.

It actually gets worse as several of the symbols that SF shows for the Nasdaq 100 were removed effective Dec 18th so SF is actually missing more than 7 of the 104 symbols currently in the Nasdaq 100.

(note that Nasdaq 100 contains 100 companies but some of them have more than one stock such as Alphabet/Google which is why it contains 104 symbols.)

Hope this helps,
Ed S.
