if I want to make a filter say that stock has gained 30% during the past quarter, would this be an accurate filter?

A year has about 252 trading days. So a quarter has 252/4 = 62 trading days.

The "gain" is calculated by the "Rate of Change" Indicator, short name ROC.

Putting all together: You need a condition which says:

Definitely correct. The ROC(Close, 62) indicator will be a "rolling quarterly" gain.

If you want a true quarterly gain from the beginning of the current quarter, use the Gain indicator (included in the Power Pack Extension) and select "Quarterly".
