Hi All, Newbee Ron here with a ? I am trying to screen for very narrow channels (DIAAF April thru June). Then I want to further screen for volume breakouts and for price breakouts. I'm very new to Fetcher and you would not believe the mess I made of it. Any help in the right direction would be much appreciated.

Thanks for the help. I reviewed the posts and tried the shared screens but they did not do what I needed. XKEM is the exact scenario I am searching for, a long (45 day) base, very narrow trading range across that base and a vol and price breakout. I can handle the vol and price breakout portion but the 'basing' portion really is throwing me for a curve. I think I need a pattern recognition program ;-) Ron

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 to.

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
