Is there a way to write a filter (say for 30 days) that would return stocks with a low bollinger differential for a period of 30 to 27 days BEFORE the day the filter is run? -- The idea would be to pick up an expansion in the last couple of days.

I've looked at numerous bollinger filters posted here, and can't seem to find any that will run for a selected number of days in the past. It would seem SF is capable of this, I just can't figure out how to code it.

All help appreciated ........... Jim

show stocks where the Bollinger width(20) 5 days ago is between 0 and 0.05 and draw Bollinger(20)
rsi(10) 2 days ago < 35
open < close
sp900
offset 8/24/15

Sorry but I just had to added the EMA(20) this this filter to show the real trend up or down.

Four -

Unless I am missing the boat, this just tells me what the Bollinger width was 5 days ago. I'm looking for the bollinger width being less than some number for every day a period of xx to yy days ago. I could probably do this with a number of lines, like

and Bollinger width 6 days ago
and Bollinger width 7 days ago, etc., etc.

but I'm thinking there must be a better coding solution. Any thoughts?

I Tried again with filter below, but I don't understand how SF works with this. The differential does not seem to produce expected result and the result seems to be totally unpredicable.

/* 09-22/15 Try 3 -- Bollinger Band consolidation and breakout */

/* Calculate and display price adjusted volume */
set { Adj_Vol, Volume(20) * close(20) }
set { DollarVol, Round(Adj_Vol) }
add column DollarVol { Dollar Volume }
and add column separator

/* Market and Sector information */
and add column exchange {exch}
and add column sector {sect}
and add column industry {Indust}
and add column separator
and add column bollinger diff(20,1.5) {BBdiff }

show stocks where the Bollinger Diff(20,1.5) is less than 0.5 20 days ago
and Bollinger Diff(20,1.5) is less than 0.5 12 days ago
and Bollinger Diff(20,1.5) is less than 0.5 11 days ago
and Bollinger Diff(20,1.5) is less than 0.5 10 days ago
and Bollinger Diff(20,1.5) is less than 0.5 9 days ago
and Bollinger Diff(20,1.5) is less than 0.5 8 days ago
and Bollinger Diff(20,1.5) is less than 0.5 7 days ago
and Bollinger Diff(20,1.5) is less than 0.5 6 days ago
and Bollinger Diff(20,1.5) is less than 0.5 5 days ago
and Bollinger Diff(20,1.5) is less than 0.5 4 days ago
and Bollinger Diff(20,1.5) is less than 0.5 3 days ago

and close has been increasing for the last 2 days
and volume has been increasing for the last 2 days
and ma(10) has been increasing for the last 2 days
and cma(adj_vol, 20) > 400000 and close > 1
and draw ma(30)
and draw Bollinger Bands(20,1.5)
and chart-length is 22 days
and do not draw Adj_Vol
and do not draw cma(adj_vol, 15)

First bollinger line above should read 13 days ago

IMHO the EMA(20) is a barometer of trends and which way the trend is going

Anyone have any input on this. I'm still trying to get a working filter. ......... Jim

set{x,count(Bollinger width(20,1.5) < 0.05,4)}
add column x > 3
draw Bollinger width(20,1.5) line at 0.05
