Hi Bagherra, given your name as you are a good scan programmer from fb186 on the chartboard.
I'd like to know how to build some scans for stockcharts.com, I like looking for charts that are trading above their 200dma and also above their 50dma.
What I want are stocks that have made an initial move and then retreated (consolidated) and now are making another push to take out the initial resistance. I keep getting fouled up in the days between,the 2 moves, as I don't know how to put this in the scan. Sometimes this takes but a few days and then sometimes (the consolidation) can take up to 3 weeks.
Is there an easy way of doing this? I usually spend time doing a visual search of this and look at over 1000+ charts a day.
