Al: Your right. Should be Close(0)>=0.5*Range(0). Thanks for catching this. I looked at it many times and did not spot it. Let me warn you that Quote Plus EmovAvg has a problem with it. The answer depends upon the number of days being displayed. This means different answers. I think Quote Plus is reviewing the coding. Its suggested that WmovAvg be used. Richard Lockie

Al: Here is my bolinger breakout scan using your idea. It tends to select horizontal bands that are narrowing. It appears to select some interesting stock. Bollinger theory states that stocks are poised for a breakout under this situation. Don't know which direction until it happens. //detects BB band breakout on high volumn day Loop(0,-3 ) // back testing Float W Exchange= NYSE, AMEX, NASDAQ Pe>0 //making some money Marketcap>=100 Close(0)>close(-1) // up day Close(0)>=0.5Range(0) // strong day Close(0)>=5 //use what you want Close(0)<=50 //use what you want close(0)<2Min(0,-260,lo) //stock not over extended Vol(0)>2AvgVol(-1,-21) // 2 times 20 day vol Movavg(-4,20,cl)+(StDev(-4,-19)2)<Movavg(-5,20,cl)+(StDev(-5,-19)2)1.05 Movavg(-3,20,cl)+(StDev(-3,-19)2)<Movavg(-5,20,cl)+(StDev(-5,-19)2)1.05 Movavg(-2,20,cl)+(StDev(-2,-19)2)<Movavg(-5,20,cl)+(StDev(-5,-19)2)1.05 Movavg(-1,20,cl)+(StDev(-1,-19)2)<Movavg(-5,20,cl)+(StDev(-5,-19)2)1.05 W :=MovAvg(0,19,cl)+2StDev(0,-19) // Stock avg plus 2 st Close(-2)<=W // below upper bollinger band Close(0)>W // above upper bollinger band Println Symbol:-6,Date(0):8,QRS(0):7:2,Pe:7:1," ",Description Richard Lockie
