I'd like some help with a filter that finds stocks in consolidation (ie: trading flat for about three months or so but previous trend before that was up)
Thanks,
Ryan

Several really good consolidation filters have already been posted ... should be easy to find in the archives

This will find stocks with a trading range less than 3% over the past 60 days or 3 months.
With regards to the uptrend prior to the rectangle, I shan't think you'll have too much difficulty adding that clause into this filter.

The "ratio" column would show the spread between the 3-month high and the 3-month low. For some reason it brings up a bunch of stocks with negative values, which I think is merely a fluke on the part of SF. However, none of them had values above 3. Also by looking at the charts, most of them had a relatively flat trading range for at least 3 months. Can you elaborate on what you thought wasn't working according to the original premise?
Also re-run the below filter which has the "sort column" command:
