I finally figured it out; stocks that trend strongly will have a greater slope on average, whereas stocks the just plod along will have a slope approaching 0. hence:

Fetcher[
set {slope1,abs(5 day slope of close)}
draw slope1
add column slope1
set{slopesum,sum(slope1,90)}
add column slopesum
sort by column 6 descending
volume greater than 500,000
price greater than 10]




Does 90 in the slopesum part of this filter calculate the slopesum for 90 trading days or 450 (90 5-day slopes of the close)?

Here is a filter that will identify strong 30 day trends. It is sorted in order of trend strength. If you want to look at different period change every "30" you see to what you want.

Fetcher[
/*30 day trend*/
set{prc_chg,close - close 1 day ago}
set{np, prc_chg / close 1 day ago}
set{my_ind,np * 100}
set{my_sd_30,cstddev(my_ind,30)}
set{my_sum_30,sum(my_ind,30)}
set{my_mean_30,my_sum_30 / 30}
set{target_L30,0}
set{p30,target_L30 - my_mean_30}
set{z_30,p30 / my_sd_30}

show stocks where close is above 1
and volume is above 100000

add column z_30{30-day}

sort by column 5 ascending

Take a look before the blast off and resulting trend.

Notice how many form a higher low? I've done some testing over the past few weeks with good results, visually searching for higher lows.

Anyone have a scan for higher lows? Tried the SF incomplete double bottom and double bottom scan with mixed results.
