 Hello all,
 
 I need help in terms of the following condition I want to implement:
 
 Parabolic SAR(0.02,0.2) below price for 1 day
 set{countPSARdec, days(Parabolic SAR(0.02,0.2) 2 days ago above price,5)}
 
 What I try to achieve is: all stocks where Parabolic SAR is below the close yesterday and the 5 days before (so 2 to 6 days before today) Parabolic SAR was above the close.
 The second phrase (set....) seems not be right. At least the result showing different things.
 
 
 My second question is: if I am not wrong the phrase "close has not been increasing for 5 days" does not work. Can you help me with an alternative?
 
 Thank you very much
 Heiko

 On your second question, we need more detail.
 Do you mean close has been in a decline for 5 days?
 Choppy during the last 5 days (sometimes close is above yesterday, other times below)?
 It can be increasing 4 out of 5 days, but 1 of those days has to be decreasing?

 Thanks Xarlor!
 
 Actually it only should not increase above the close 5 days ago. But it does not matter if it ends up at the same closing than 5 days ago (went down and up again) or decreased for 5 days or any other possibility.

 The definitive answer is:
 
 
 
 
 Theoretically, this should work, but StockFetcher wonkiness is recalculating c5d as 5 days prior to whichever day it's checking.  One would assume c5d stays constant as 5 days prior to today.  See XLU, GNS, or GOLD as examples.  Same problem if you use count.
