Hey - I am trying out some strategies with gap trading.

I am very new on StockFetcher - so I hope someone could held my with programming this:

"stock must have a consistent trading range of at lease 1.75 points.
Open of the current day must be in the top 25% of the day's price range
close of the current day must be in the buttom 25% of the day's price range "

Thanks
best regards
Marcello from Denmark

Welcome Marcello
here's a start for you.
mm

Fetcher[set{channeltop,high 30 day high}
set{channelbottom,low 30 day low}
set{tchg, channeltop minus channeltop 30 days ago }
set{bchg, channelbottom minus channelbottom 30 days ago}
set{atchg, abs(tchg)}
set{abchg, abs(bchg)}
set{channeltopchange, atchg / channeltop}
set{channelbottomchange, atchg / channeltop}
and draw channeltop on plot price
and draw channelbottom on plot price

and channeltop < 1.75 percent above channelbottom

and channeltopchange < 0.005
and channelbottomchange < 0.005

and open above day position(0.75,1)
and close below day position(0.25,1)

add column average volume(90)
average volume(90) above 400,000
price above 1
market is not otcbb

Change the values and experiment.
You could also add the following 2 lines to the filter which you might also find helpful

average day range(30) > 2%
and add column average day range
