Hi, 

 

Is there a way to tell stockfinder to backtest a price pattern such that we have 10 days up and 10 days down or vice versa. 

For example: I am looking isolate data in a stock where stock pivots to a high for 10 days and then to a low or 10 day. 

Thanks

It is probably possible, but the devil is in the details.

How do you want to define the up days and down days?

Close vs Close, Open vs Close, High vs High, Low vs Low or something else?

I didn't even think about the possibility of comparing the low to high or high to low. I can't think of a way to use the high and low on the same day to check for an up or down day.

So does high need to be above the previous low to be considered an up day or does the low need to be above the previous high to be considered an up day?
