Question on average daily volume

  I’ve gone through the first course on coding for indicators, and have been testing some small programs.

  I want to start working with the screener now.

  One item I’m looking for that I don’t see is the Average Daily Volume as a filter.  Is there a premade variable I’m not seeing, or do I need to write some code lines to filter results in regards to ADV?

  For instance, I want to start with a screener that only returns instruments with an average daily value over 3 million shares (maybe 10 days simple average for starters).

  Apply an average of 10 periods onto Volumes:

  adv = average[10](volume)

  1	adv = average[10](volume)

  Make a condition based on this variable:

  c1 = adv > 3000000

  1	c1 = adv > 3000000

  Thanks you very much Nicholas.

  I believe there is a daily command to lock the ADV into daily average, while the screener runs on a shorter term timeframe?

  Here is the complete screener:

  timeframe(daily) adv = average[10](volume) c1 = adv > 3000000 timeframe(default) //put here (the other timeframe selected in the proscreener dropdown list) conditions screener[c1]

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

  timeframe(daily) adv = average[10](volume) c1 = adv > 3000000   timeframe(default) //put here (the other timeframe selected in the proscreener dropdown list) conditions   screener[c1]

  I don´t know what is happening but if for example I use a Proscreener like the one on this thread to filter out stocks that are below a certain volume (for example 100.000 daily stocks traded) and after getting the results I go to another webpage (like marketscreener) the volume in prorealtime does not coincide at all with the volume at marketscreener or any other financial website.

  Even worst because if I run a proscreener to filter out stocks that are below a certain volume I still get stocks in the results that are below that limit and even with much lower volume than what I intented with the filter.  For example I set a proscreener to filter out those stocks in a market that are below 100.000 daily stocks and there are still like 20 stocks with volume as low as 5000 or 8000 stocks traded. Why does this happen?

  I just want to filter out stocks that their average capital traded for the last 7-10 days is below a certain limit but I still get stocks that are way below this limit. So, how can we solve it? Or do the volume results in Prorealtime are very different from the real traded volume for any reason?

  Thanks again!
