In excel - the COUNTIF() function is used to count
the number of previous days when the high was lower than the high of the current
day.
is there a way to program this in ms easily pls
?

EXPLORATION
Maybe post some of the Excel code. I understand
you count the number
of days that a new high has been attained - or that
the day's high has
been higher than the previous one, and build the system
around that.
But the Excel code will maybe help, so give some formulas and
I am
sure somebody here may be able to help with the translation. MS
is
not that difficult, especially if you are comfortable 'programming'
in
Excel, then you should not have too many problems.

over
the next few days provided volume is confirming. The key is when
to
exit. Now in bull markets several stocks fulfil this criteria and
my
experience has shown that the more the stock is in new highs (ie.
the
more the number of previous days whose highs have been crossed),
the
greater the profits. So the best way is to sort out the list on
that
basis.

Changing 1 to 2 gives the number of days since the last swing
high -
which is lower than the current high in my case and thus of no use.
I
have tried changing the formula and breaking my head on a solution
-
but to no avail.
