Here is how I would find a 1-2-3 Low (formed in the last 10 days):
Create the following PCFs:
Recent New Low MINL10<MINL125.10
Recent Bounce MAXL4.3>MINH10
Low Test H>H1 AND L>L1 AND L1<L2 AND L2<L3 AND L3<L4
Once you create all three, add them to any EasyScan along with Price Percent Change 26-weeks set to VALUES below zero.

High Test L<L1 AND H<H1 AND H1>H2 AND H2>H3 AND H3>H4

I am not sure what "it does not like the days" means...
Here are my 5-period versions:
Recent New Low MINL5<MINL125.5
Recent Bounce MAXL3.1>MINH5
Low Test H>H1 AND L>L1 AND L1<L2 AND L2<L3
Once you create all three, add them to any EasyScan along with Price Percent Change 26-weeks or Price Percent change 1-month set to VALUES below zero.

I fixed the syntax error in that formula.
When you create these EasyScans be sure to include other conditions like Price Per Share and Volume. You should find a lot less than 2000 tickers. Feel free to decrease the range on the Price Percent Change conditions. I am sure only being up or down 1 or 5% in 6-months is likely not enough to constitute a trend.
You are using all three conditions for each of these EasyScans, right?
Be sure to also sort the resulting WatchList. Sort by Price Growth Rate 1-yr or Price Percent Change 1-month in the direction that fits the desired trend.
I don't understand what you are asking in this post:
QUOTE when I do that it says " make days to calculate criterion 4

H>H1 AND L>L1 AND L1<L2 AND L2<L3

Have you watched this video?
How to create a Personal Criteria Forumula (PCF)
What questions do you have after watching it?
There is no reason to look through thousands of stocks when we can narrow the field. I want to save you hours of time. You don't have to be a PCF guy, you only have to learn how to copy what I give you and put it in your system.
Above I gave you three PCFs for high and three for lows. Create all six of these PCFs. You can then put them into an EasyScan to find the patterns.
Take a deep breath and trust me, if you are smart enough to read charts and understand the futures market, this is going to be a cake walk. I will help you along each step.
If you are not sure how to create the EasyScans following my instructions in my first reply, watch how an EasyScan is built in this video:
Using EasyScan to find stocks that meet your own criteria
You will build your 123 EasyScan the same way except you will use the conditions I gave you.

Craig, I will watch again a littler closer, either way, you guys have the best and most awesome software amd the most awesome support.
I like to see the pattern develop over 6-9 months, watching it pass through its last support or trsistance area.
Then I price the option by probability of hiyying and probability of ending worthless, and ;oke stocks price and potential profit is a consideration. Of coutse volume with options is a biggie as I am a medium term trader.
So I am not as smart as you think as computers help a lot.
Thanks so much for your help, you have been terrific.
Steve
