Any idea how to set up a filter to scan for a flat base?

Use the ADX (Average Directional Movement) . Below 10 indicates little directional movement (either up or down). You'll see some flat bases here.

First attempt:

Fetcher[
set{flatbase, count(low equal low 5 day low, 5) }

flatbase above 1
low 5 days ago equal low 5 day low

add column flatbase

close above 1
volume above 50000

sort column 5 descending

]



Second attempt:

Fetcher[
set{BarBottom, min(open, close) }
set{flatbase, count(BarBottom equal BarBottom 5 day low, 5) }

flatbase above 1
BarBottom 5 days ago equal BarBottom 5 day low

add column flatbase

close above 1
volume above 500000

sort column 5 descending
]



Should put you in the ballpark.
