I got some good results by changing the parameters a bit, too. The scan finds more cups -- smaller ones -- with these ranges of days:
pointd:=min(0,-10,lo);
pointc:=max(-5,-25,hi);
pointb:=min(-8,-45,lo);
pointa:=max(-28,-100,hi);
For example, it found a nice smaller cup in ABS's chart. There was a breakout from the handle, too, on Sept 22.
All I changed in the scan were the ranges for the days (above). Here's the whole thing:
