Is it possible to code a filter for the Wyckoff Spring Setup as detailed in the July issue of Active Trader Magazine? Seems like a complicated setup and I'm wondering if StockFetcher can handle something like this. Here are the trade rules:

1 Setup:
a) The market establishes a first swing low by dropping 3 percent or more below the trading range's support level.

b) The market rallies 3 percent or more off the first swing low.

c) The market makes a second swing low by dropping 3 percent or more from the rally's high to a low that is lower than the first swing low.

d) The two swing lows must occur within 30 days of each other.

e) The second swing low should break down through a support level, in this case defined as the lowest low of the last 30 days.

2) Enter long with a stop order at the high of the bar that made the second swing low.

3) Exit long position after 30 days.

Some of the above obviously belongs in a backtest but the rest might be able to be filtered for. Anyone want to take on the challenge?

I'm sure if you stuff the ballet box for THERUMPLEDONE'S next "Battle Of The Bands" voting....I KNOW he will code this for you in a jiff....and if his band wins because of your voting...he'll add on his top "dashboard" with about 100 of the narliest bells-n-whistles
(set{counts}) you'll ever see!

...but if he happens to mention a "P.O.Box?" and you giving him a bank "Debit Card?".....you might as well trash the coding dude.....

ROFL

To be honest, I'm not interested in actually using something like this to filter stocks. Im just wondering if its possible to translate the ideas presented above into something stockfetcher can understand and work with. Seemed like a pretty tough challenge to get coded.
