frankis,
I think you can learn to program these filters. SF has a fairly easy language to learn. The hardest part typically is defining exactly what you are looking for. I think the biggest mistake is writing filters without fist defining your strategy. With that said there is value in experimentation with filters to get a feel for how a particular indicator behaves. Just my $.02.
Here is a filter that I think better fits what you are looking for. This should yield stocks that have had an unusual volume spike but who's price has not changed drastically in the last few days. The price move is a little loose in this filter with the focus on the volume.
I typically don't like to use the "set" command because I feel it reduces the readability but this seems to be the quickest route to solve the problem. If you get the urge you might play with OBV to try and detect these moves without resorting to set commands. I added the OBV indicator to the chart so you can get a feel for how it behaves in relation to this filter. Another indicator that maybe useful is EMV due to it's volume and price relationship.
Good luck with your insider detection :)
