minimum number of days for condition?

[mute9003]

im learning how to use TOS scanner and also scripting
trying to figure out how to set up the scanner to search for minimum number of days for certain condition
for example i want to search for stocks that are basically flat lined in very tight defined range for lets say 3 days in a row. BUT not ranging around specific price and NOT dependent on Rvol or volume in general.

price range only and minimum number of days
if even possible to create this for incline/decline range.
yes im scanning for potential pre breakout stocks. but most of them are set up dependent on volume which doesnt work. it breaks the search and includes irrelevant ones and removes the ones that increased in volume but still in tight range

i recommend people make chart studies to get the bugs worked out, then copy it to be a scan study.

you could use an outside bar study (or inside) to check for flatness.
then check if the height is < some number , or some ATR multiple.
