Well the idea is to count "doji like" bars for 6 days and a breakout day today.
see DUK June 3 to 10 and then the breakout today.
I would much appreciate any help.
Thank you all.

Chetron...
I did take a look at Alf's work (thanks Alf) but I am not as code-savvy as yourself and others, and do appreciate your help,
Changes such as to lines lines 1+2 to make the parameters "1 day ago" appear to exceed my 'Basic-user' limits.
Is there possibly a way to move it back a day and scan for a 10 day breakout of the High by the Close today?
thank you !

thanks Chetron. Here is the completed filter...
Fetcher[/* Range Contraction/Expansion Scan Filter for counting Doji's followed by a Breakout */
/* Doji (H/L Rng above .20 w/Candle Body less than 30% of H/L Rng) */
/* Vary the % below to determine the volatility of the Breakout */
Close > 2.9% above Close 10 day High 1 day ago
set{HiLoRng, High - Low}
set{ClOpRng, abs(Close minus Open)}
set{ClOp_HiLo_ratio, ClOpRng / HiLoRng}
set{Range, count(HiLoRng is above .20, 1)}
set{Body, count(ClOp_HiLo_ratio is less than .30, 1)}
set{doji, Range * Body}
set{sdoji,count(doji above .5,10)}
and average volume (40) above 300,000
and add column Average Volume (40)
/* # of Closes Over EMA8 */
set{close_up3, count(close above EMA(8),2)}
and add column close_up3 {^EMA8}
draw sdoji
sdoji above 2.5
and do not draw close 2 week high
add column sdoji
and add column beta
and add column high 10 day high 1 day ago
and add column Sector
and draw EMA(8) and draw EMA(20) and draw MA(50)

cabogordon,

"...this filter really works , unfortunalty it does not isolate or hint to what stock will continue to run. Is thier anyway we could inhance or isolate potentail ongoing runners. "- - - - - - -
Glad you like the filter! But the comment above ? There is no magic bullet.
Look at the Columns that are displayed.
For instance, with the short term INDU going down from July 1st. to 10th, ..scan to July 1st/July6th/July14 etc etc
You have Volume/Beta/Sector/ and the Breakout % all to work with.
I've presented many spyglasses within the scan. You have to do the reading.

Just some ongoing thoughts... Eventually I'd like to formulate some basic trading rules.
The sdoji indicator. Breakouts tend to occur when the doji count decreases?
It isn't so much that we miss the uptrend, but that we ride the wave higher hoping to also catch a gap up.
I am testing this with "RSI(15) above 80" to isolate already stronger stocks. The thought is that well trending stocks are even more attractive to buyers when there is good news in the overall market. Maybe this would also be good with high beta stocks.
I also added a "CCI(20) plot on CCI(100)" to measure the overall trend. Its a good visual indicating strength and duration.

No, I personally find the opposite to be true.
Also, try looking/waiting for a low volume down day ( close below close 1 day ago) with higher lows.
