Higher higher Volume for example because i am

  1. I see exactly what you mean. On KO, you have to go back 
  to Mar 15, 01 to find this indicator working as a breakout tool. KO has been 
  in a solid downtrend since then.
  2. So why does a breakout tool help identify sell points in 
  a downtrend? The answer is that it signals rallies and, in a downtrend, short 
  sell opportunities follow the rallies.
  3. So, here is more of the scan code that, as a breakout 
  tool, ensures we are in at least a short term uptrend.
  Mov(C,20,S)>Mov(C,40,S) AND C>Mov(C,40,S) ANDC 
  > Ref(HHV(C,10),-1) AND Ref(LLV(O,10),-1) > .95 * Ref(HHV(C,10),-1) 
  ANDRef(LLV(C,10),-1) > .95 * Ref(HHV(O,10),-1)
  4. As an indicator, this should do a better job of pointing 
  out breakouts that have a better chance of continuing up because they are in 
  an uptrend. False signals (sees) could be reduced by demanding a longer term 
  uptrend.
  My thoughts
  David
