  When I find these patterns manually I usually do really well, it's really simple strategy yet does quite well.  I am looking for stocks that had a really big tank in 1 or 2 days of say 30% or more, over 30 days AGO. Then let it consolidate for a while in a pretty flat channel.  Then when it shows signs of breaking the upside of the channel I jump in and ride the bounce. Of course it will work in big stocks, but on small stocks very easy to find stocks go from $4 to $2, and ride it back to $3 for a nice 50% bounce in a couple of days.
 
 This is what I have so far, but I can't seem to get the syntax right for what I want.
 
 Show stocks below 3
 and volume is above 200000
 and close dropped more than 30% in one day more than 30 days ago (this is where I have problems)
 and RSI(5) reached a new 30 day high
 and OBV is above 0
 
 and the stock is trading in a tight channel 10% of its price  (a $2 stock would only hover .20 while in the channel during the consolidation)
 
 Can anyone help me w/ the proper syntax, and/or tweak it.  I do quite well, if I can only automate the finding process.  thank you

 try plugging this into your filter where you are having problems
 
 count(close is 30% below close 1 day ago,30) is above 0

  Thank you for your response. Does that code look for stocks that dropped a lot 30 days ago? or at LEAST 30 days ago?  I dont want to be limited to exactly 30 days, maybe even something that happened 30 days to 1 year ago.
 thx

  It looks for stocks falling at any time within the last 30 days. Change the days for any period you wish

  Thanks Mike.  Is there a way I can specify a range instead then? For example, greater than 5 days, and less than 30.  That way I can allow the stock to consolidate instead of just looking at yesterday's stocks which I wouldn't want in the scan.

  This should get you going. You might want to tweak it a little. I'm having a hard time yielding any matches. The only one is NWS from the drop very long ago. You mind shareing one of those already made you a bundle :) Let me know how it plays out.
