  Thanks Preston.
  This is one of the scans that come with all MS 
  versions.
  I think alitis is talking about something new in 
  8.0.
  Perhaps he will post.

    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) 
    AND>             
    C > Ref(HHV(C,10),-1) AND 
    >             
    Ref(LLV(O,10),-1) > .95 * Ref(HHV(C,10),-1) 
    AND>             
    Ref(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.>
