HAY GUYS
can you guys help me creating a filter for stocks creating flat horizontal channel for last several months?
i mean a channel in which the price will move +/- 10-15% from imaginary avarage price. volume ,duration and close price are not important at this point as they can be varied.for the test lets say that duration 6 months, close is 5 and avarage volume(30) is above 5oooo.
some examples : STV during 3-6/2005, IPII during 9/2004-4/2005, ENG during 1-5/2005, MPWG during last year, etc.
THANKS GUYS.

Fetcher[
SET{chwidth, high 60 day high - low 60 day low}
SET{chdiv, chwidth / low 60 day low}
SET{chpct, chdiv * 100}

add column chpct
add column chwidth

add column 60 day slope of the close

/* PRICE VOLUME CRITERIA */

VOLUME ABOVE 100000
close is between 1 and 10

/* selection CRITERIA */

60 day slope of the close is between -.03 and .03

sort column 5 ascending
/* end filter */
]



Vary this line:

60 day slope of the close is between -.03 and .03

to get flatter channels.


60 day slope of the close is 0 would give you a "perfectly" flat channel.


Column chwidth is the channel width.

Column chpct is the percent of the channel width compared to the low price.

MAY ALL YOUR FILLS BE COMPLETE.

I just wanted to see if there were any perfectly flat channels.

add column chwidth

add column 60 day slope of the close

/* PRICE VOLUME CRITERIA */

VOLUME ABOVE 100000

should be something like this:
Fetcher[set{pr,price}
set{1proc,pr/100}
set{15proc,1proc*15}
set{uplimit,pr+15proc}
set{downlimit,pr-15proc}
and draw uplimit
and draw downlimit
and price is between uplimit and downlimit over the last 100 days
and price above 1
and volume above 100000
]


but this filter not works correctly because in first line "price" is not price for today, but price for every particular day over last 100 days, I don't know how to set variable for TODAY price :(

If you look at my filter, you will see you have to use high 60 day high, low 60 day low to get the ceiling and floor.

Then you compare each day's price to those.
