Three days tight based on average range

In a recent interview with Richard Molgen Pradeep Bonde talked about how he likes to scan for three consecutive consolidation days. I was wondering if anyone has build a custom scan to be able to do this?


I was thinking one way to do this might be to ask TOS to look for three consecutive days with the high/low range was a percentage of the stocks Average Daily Range (ADR).

For example: scan for stocks with three consecutive days where the range was less then 70% of the ADR on all three days. I have some script for how to calculate the ADR which is below but I am not sure how to write the rest of the script.

I would appreciate any assistance

Code:
#Calculate ADR Perc for last 20 days

input len = 20;

def ADR_perc = 100 * (Average(high, len) / Average(low, len) -1);
 
Hello,

I am trying to create a scan to look for a stock that has three consecutive days where the Daily True Range (DTR) is less then the Average True Range (ATR) for the last 20 days. I know how to define the ATR and the DTR for a day, but not sure how to convert this into a scan and to have it look at the last three days.

Code:
input AtrAvgLength = 20;

def ATR = WildersAverage(TrueRange(high(period = aggregationPeriod.DAY), close(period = aggregationPeriod.DAY), low(period = aggregationPeriod.DAY)), AtrAvgLength);

def TodayHigh = Highest(high(period = aggregationPeriod.DAY), 1);
def TodayLow = Lowest(low(period = aggregationPeriod.DAY), 1);

def DTR = TodayHigh - TodayLow;
 
@esti0000 Something like the following perhaps...

Ruby:
def sqz3 = DTR < ATR and DTR[1] < ATR[1] and DTR[2] < ATR[2];
Thanks when I put all this code together it wont let me hit ok is there something I am missing to complete the code? Sorry if this is really basic.

Code:
input AtrAvgLength = 20;

def ATR = WildersAverage(TrueRange(high(period = aggregationPeriod.DAY), close(period = aggregationPeriod.DAY), low(period = aggregationPeriod.DAY)), AtrAvgLength);

def TodayHigh = Highest(high(period = aggregationPeriod.DAY), 1);
def TodayLow = Lowest(low(period = aggregationPeriod.DAY), 1);

def DTR = TodayHigh - TodayLow;

def sqz3 = DTR < ATR and DTR[1] < ATR[1] and DTR[2] < ATR[2];

I as well as others have been and had been in stockbee community for long time. Study intense learn to trade the right way community,.....there are many scans and ideas shared, join.
 
You could also use the TTM_Squeeze study and set it for 3d.
