-CS:  thanks for sharing this.  On a quick
look it did not seem that applicable, but I did not spend much time with it.  I
will file it in my breakout experiemtal folder and look at it again in a while. 
I appreciate you sending it to me.

 

Ken

Ken,





 





See if there is any part of this you can use.





 





It's old and I haven't updated it but it does return data for any point
along the lines which can be changed with PARAM/OPTIMIZE.

Please share any solution you get for this
problem.

I have been looking for the answer to this for
several years.

One of our board members, Dimitris Tsokakis, found
the foundation of a
possible solution when he wrote a plotting
trendline routine which would
plot parallel and horizontal trendlines over the
prices. You could
specify the width (small to meet the needs of the
chart formation you
and I are interested in) and then be prepared to
look for the upward
breakout.  This is sometimes called the
Cooper breakout.

However, Dimitris' solution would only plot
trendlines from the current
day backward a specified number of bars. 
What was and is needed is a
modification that plots backward say 10 days
starting at any point you
specify in the past (historical).  Then the
variables of the pattern
plus the volume component like you mention could
be backtested.

This is on DT's "B-Priority" list right
now and I agree with his
priority, as he is working several other issues
for the members here and
for himself.

Subject: [amibroker] Flat Base High Volume breakout
scan?

I am looking to develop a scan that would return
"flat base pattern" 
stocks, priced 0.25 to $5, which exhibit a base
pattern for the last 
3 months or more.

I suppose this could be expressed as "never
exceeded XXX % +/-" of 
its average daily price for the last 3 months.
(??)

I also want to include in the scan a volume
component, so that the 
above flat base pattern stocks are screened and
then AmiBroker looks 
for 2-times or more volume, along with an
accompanying price 
increase.  This possibly could be done via
OBV language.

For a "real world" example, please see
IVAN, MITK, CYAN.   Please 
note the "flat base" which existed along
with lackluster volume, and 
then accompanying upward price action and volume
increase.

That is in a nutshell what I want to scan for.

Sorry for the lengthy post, its 1:30 AM at my
house and I am now 
looking for outside help with this.

good night
