Chellester,

Larry's suggestion will work just fine. I was thinking of the same 
thing but maybe using a sum of the last 10 days greater than zero. 
Like this:

Sum(Volume,10) > 0 ;

I was also thinking about the Rate-of-Change indicator which could be 
used for either volume and/or closing values. Checking for an active 
equity is a good idea yet I doubt many explorations utilize the idea.
