Hi Bruce:

 

Do you have any code for building Darvas Boxes? If I supplied you with MetaStock code could it be done? It's pretty simple really but I don't know how to write code -- Here it is in English:

So, in summary: We store the top and then see if it remains unpenetrated for three days (including that day). If it does, then we look for a low, repeating this process in reverse (and wait for three days, including that day). If the top gets penetrated before the low is firmly established, we scrap the previous numbers and repeat the whole process from scratch. This will probably require a minimum of five days. Then, we wait for a bar to penetrate the high (a buy signal) or the low (a sell signal)

What I am attempting is to find are all-time new stock highs, with at least a 50% increase over av daily volume -- then scan for the boxes in the stock data base.

Watching the training video, I thought it might be accomplished with conditons but being new to your product, I am not certain.

Eagerly awaiting for feedback. Thanks in advance.
