Very interesting Rich! Your definition of "breakout" is to be ABOVE the bands? Do you consider it a buy at that point? Could you give me more detail on how you use it?

Also, I am confused by the statement Close(0)>=0.5*High(0). Does this mean in the top half of the range? Seems like if the range was 20 to 21, 1/2 of the high would 10.5. I would have guessed that you would use "Close(0)<=(High(0)-Low(0)/2)", or "Range(0)*.5".

Forgive all the questions, but I'm still a little green at this appreciate your help. TIA.

I don't understand the loop(0,-200) backtesting?? Seems like -200 you would never get a candidate. I'm only familiar with using loop(-20,-20), for example, to see what evolved when conditions were met 20 days ago.. With a loop statement loop(0,-10) wouldn't all the conditions of the scan have to be true for 10 consecutive days??
Please explain your logic..
dick.
