I want to add a couple conditions.
All I want to add is price is greater than 5.00 and average daily volume (50 period) is greater than 500,000. Would you be kind enough to show me what and where to add these 2 conditions? Thanks in advance for your help.

Price and Volume are two basic filters that should be added to every scanner.

@MerryDay- Thank you for your assistance.

I added both conditions as well as the PSAR scan.

Ran scan but still includes penny stocks and not just stocks meeting the criteria of greater than 5 bucks, volume ave of 500K and the PSAR scan candidates. I clearly am missing the point somewhere. Sorry to seem so stupid. Attached is a screen shot after I ran scan

Your scanner is set to find any ONE of your filters; not all your filters:
