  I need help in finding how to code the lowest volume in last 30 days(or whatever length). I have looked at PVO, PVI and the VMA, but have not found exactly what I want. Mark Minervini uses extreme low volume as part of his stock screens. Volume contraction in a basing stock sometimes signals near breakouts.

  Is there a way to apply this to a variable that is defined on data that spans more than one day ? 
 
 In particular, to find if today's close to close range is the smallest in the past 20 days.   
 
 Fails:
 
    set { cc, close 0 days ago - close 1 days ago }
    count(cc reached a new 20 day low,1) equals 1
 
 Fails:
 
    close 0 days ago - close 1 days ago reached a new 20 day low

 This seems to work, but as written it gives you the LARGEST drop in absolute $ over the last twenty days.  Is that what you are looking for?
 
 I think what you are looking for is that the ABSOLUTE value of the daily difference is the smallest it has been in 20 days.

  Yes, the absolute value !
 
 Kevin, thanks so much for spotting my confounding of a 'low' difference w/ smallest absolute value.
 
 Regards, ChasS
