Would like to search for stks that are 'basing' in a consol./cong. pattern in order to wait for a breakout. Would appreciate help on how to word the 'basing' period part in the filter.
Thnx, Sid

Just by searching the forum by entering "base" alone yielded 132 results. I believe ure question has been asked, and answered, on multiple occasions.

This is a rehash from my previous post called "Flattening Bottom, Rounding Bottom, & Other Non-sexy Bottoms" (I don't mean to be cute in anyway,lol). Feel free to ask should you need one.

Here's a variation on the same theme by maxreturn & Co.:

Fetcher[set{3rng, high 3 month high-low 3 month low}
set{3rngpos, indposition(3rng,100)}
set{cntlow, count(3rngpos below .1,100)}
show stocks where price between .01 and 5 and average volume(65) above 100000 and cntlow above 99
