Is there a way to code (or create) a scan for the Volatility-Stop flipping (for example from Bearish trend to Bullish Trend) any of the last say 5 candles?
In other words, I'm looking for a Volatility Stop trend flip within the last week on daily charts.
Ideally, it would be PCF so I can modify the lookback period...but we'll work with what you can do.

In version 17, you can do this with the Vstop plotted on your chart.
-
Click on Price and select Create Scan Condition.
-
Set the Condition to "Crossing Up Volatility Stop"
-
Set True to "within last x bars"
-
Set Within Bars to "5"
-
Then click Scan or Add to if you want to add to an existing scan.
You can modify the lookback period by editing the condition within the scan.

Thanks
I've resisted moving from 12.6 I may be forced some day. Until then I'll look for other options.

What's the resistance to moving on from 12.6?
