A SCAN FOR LOSERS

Now that the market is starting to turn around a bit (so far) this scan can find some nice potential longs,if one waits for green.
It finds stocks that have lost at least 8% in the last day,at least 10% over the last 2 days plus stocks not down that much over 1 or 2 days but are "failures",meaning they are stringing together down days after hitting this scan days ago.
They failed to close green,hence failures.
The scan ranks them in the order of highest to lowest % of times they have run 10% or more in the last 100 days.
If you wish add ADR10 and/or ADR30 columns and it becomes a neat little scan.
A stock Il Torello talks about on his blog today,SAH,hit this scan on 11/24 and is up 112% since.

This scan is a play off the RFR scan and like that scan this RFR Loser scan was coded and given to me by Avery Horton aka TheRumpledOne.
Credit and Thanks out to him.
