Here is my take on the request:

'
'price needs To open Or close at least "a" times
'           within "b" percentage Of high
'           within "c" trading sessions
'followed by a "d" percent higher close above the high.
'
'=====================================================================

'# cTradingSessions = userinput.integer = 40
'# dPercent = userinput.integer = 5
'# bPercent = userinput.integer = 8
'# aTimes = userinput.integer = 5

' Approach:
' check for open above d% target first to avoid doing the counts
' if open is d% above high then
'    compute bTarget and
'    count occurances.
' Note: pick max or open and close and only increment by 1 per day
'
dim count as integer
dim dTarget as single
dim bTarget as single
dim biggerPrice as single

if currentindex > cTradingSessions then
 dTarget = price.maxhigh(cTradingSessions, 1) * (1 + dPercent / 100)
 if price.close > dTarget then
  bTarget = price.maxhigh(cTradingSessions, 1) * (1 - bPercent / 100)
  count = 0
  for i as integer = 1 to cTradingSessions
   biggerPrice = system.math.max(price.open(i), price.close(i))
   if biggerPrice > bTarget then
    count += 1
   End If
  next i
  if count > aTimes then
   pass
  End If
 End If
End If

I got JST to trigger with count all the way up to 29 of 40 sessions with 9% range and 4% breakout
