--I have amended the exploration to reference the previous period in 
each of the columns b,c,d. On an exploration on the same date there 
were a lot more hits produced with the amended columns. The amount 
in column E is easily changes from 0.50 to $5 or any alternative 
minimum. 

 COLUMN A  If(C,>=,HHV(C,260)*0.8,1,0)
 COLUMN B  If(ROC(C ,20 ,% ),>,Ref(ROC(C ,260 ,% ),-20),1,0)
 COLUMN C  If(ROC(C ,65 ,% ),>,Ref(ROC(C ,130 ,% ),-65),1,0)  
 COLUMN D  If(ROC(C ,130 ,% ),>,Ref(ROC(C ,260 ,% ),-130),1,0)
 COLUMN E  If(C,>,5.00,1,0) 
 COLUMN F  Sum(VOLUME,10)/10
 Filter    When(colA,=,1) AND When(colB,=,1) AND When(colC,=,1) AND 
When(colD,=,1) AND When(colE,=,1) AND When(colF,>,40000)
