    Hi @daniel_fromcebu , welcome back.

    It's not a grammatical error because it passes syntax. There are a lot of conditions, which sometimes causes no hits. But, I think it's a logic error.

    Try this first:

    Modify ALL the max and min conditions with "1 week ago".

    For example:

    weekly close < 1 week ago weekly min(5, weekly cmf(20))

    If this week's close is NOT the min value, then it can't be less than the min value, it has to be greater.

    If this week's close IS the min value, then it cannot be less than itself, it would have to be equal.

    So there is no circumstance where this week's close can be LESS THAN the min close, which is what you are asking for.

    Same for the max values, the current value cannot be greater than the current max value, only equal or less. So compare the current value to the prior period's max.
