Here's a simple filter for breakouts on yearly high. However, when you run it, you're likely filtering for stocks that have met the condition several times in the recent past.

Can the number of times a stock has met the condition over, say, the last 40 days be counted? Then it would be possible to just rank them by count.

Any help/ideas?

Fetcher[
show stocks where high reached a new 52 week high
close above MA(50)
close above MA(200)
MA(50) above MA(200)
/*market_cap is above 1000*/
volume ROC has been increasing for 4 days
Average Volume(30) > 500000
price above 1

set{SO, shares outstanding * 1}
/*show stocks where SO is above 1*/
And add column SO

chart time is 1 year
]

This discussion of conditionals (courtesy of "four") may help your quest:

There aren't as many repeating hits as you may have thought.

Fetcher[
set{x1,count(high reached a new 52 week high,1)}
set{x2,count(close above MA(50),1)}
set{x3,count(close above MA(200),1)}
set{x4,count(MA(50) above MA(200),1)}
/*market_cap is above 1000*/
set{x5,count(volume ROC has been increasing for 4 days,1)}
set{x6,count(Average Volume(30) > 500000,1)}
set{x7,count(price above 1 ,1)}

set{long1,x1 * x2}
set{long2,long1 * x3}
set{long3,long2 * x4}
set{long4,long3 * x5}
set{long5,long4 * x6}
set{long,long5 * x7}
long > 0

set{SO, shares outstanding * 1}
/*show stocks where SO is above 1*/
And add column SO

set{hits,count(long > 0,40)}
add column hits
sort column 6 ascending

chart time is 1 year

Thank you jim and xarlor.

Xarlor, true enough, not as many in this filter as I thought. This morning I collated this and another filter's results over the last month and for some symbols there were 4,5,6 appearances. So I can only conclude that the other filter contributed at least half of the repeats.

That said, seeing how to do it helps a ton. Thank you.

Fotch, does this help?
Fetcher[
set{myflag, count(high reached a new 52 week high, 1)}
draw myflag
set{flagcount, count(myflag equals 1, 40)}
add column flagcount

Thanks, Graf -- looks like an even easier way. By the way, I am using the filter you've been working versions on.
