Can you please help writing the above scan?

Thanks

Here is a scan I use for bullish stocks making a pullback. You can use a similar scan but change the "less than" to "greater than" and the time periods. You can also add the same comparison for daily low in addition to daily high.

• 20-day Exponential Moving Average of Close for today is greater than 50-day Exponential Moving Average of Close for today
• 50-day Exponential Moving Average of Close for today is greater than 200-day Exponential Moving Average of Close for today
• Daily Close for today is greater than 20-day Exponential Moving Average of Close for today
• Daily High for today is less than Daily High for yesterday
• Daily High for yesterday is less than Daily High for 2 days ago
• Daily High for 2 days ago is less than Daily High for 3 days ago
• Daily High for 3 days ago is less than Daily High for 4 days ago
• Daily High for 4 days ago is less than Daily High for 5 days ago

Here's another alternative to try (Mark_L's scan is great, just taking another approach):

[type = stock] AND [Daily SMA(20,Daily Volume) > 40000]

// lower price channel is still rising

and [Lower Price Chan(21) = max(21, Lower Price Chan(21))]

// test current month channels against prior month

// lowest upper price channel in last 21 days is better than the best of prior 21 days

and [min(21, Upper Price Chan(21)) > 21 days ago max(21, Upper Price Chan(21))]

// and same test of lower price channel

and [min(21, Lower Price Chan(21)) > 21 days ago max(21, Lower Price Chan(21))]

//************if you want, same tests for second month versus third month
//and [21 days ago min(21, Upper Price Chan(21)) > 42 days ago max(21, Upper Price Chan(21))]

//and [21 days ago min(21, Lower Price Chan(21)) > 42 days ago max(21, Lower Price Chan(21))]

The test of the most recent two months gets a reasonable number of hits that look pretty good. Adding the third month gets no hits, so I left it in but commented it out. Those lines might be useful in a different market.

You could play with the 21 day parameter to see if it makes a difference.
