 Alex, 
  
I see it now, it has been a long time since I used metastock... 
  
The PREVIOUS is refering to the previous value of the top or bottom box in 
each statement, unfortunately I have not been able to grasp Amibrokers way of 
converting this metastock function into Amibroker..Sorry. 
  
Maybe Tomasz or someone else can help in the translation...

  Anthony,  
    
  Yes this code is a conversion from metastock "How I made 2 million on the 
  stockmarket" by Jason Prestwidge.  The bottom 
  is original of code. 
    
  Periods:=Input("periods",1,260,260); Topbox:=If(Ref(H,-3)>=Ref(HHV(H,Periods),-4) AND 
  Ref(H,-2)<Ref(H,-3) AND Ref(H,-1)<Ref(H,-3) AND H< 
  Ref(H,-3),Ref(H,-3),PREVIOUS); 
  
  Botbox:=If(Ref(H,-3)>=Ref(HHV(H,Periods),-4) AND 
  Ref(H,-2)<Ref(H,-3) AND Ref(H,-1)<Ref(H,-3) AND H< 
  Ref(H,-3),LLV(L,4),PREVIOUS); 
  Topbox; Botbox;

      Periods=Param("periods",260,1,260,1);  
      
      Topbox=IIf(Ref(H,-3)>=Ref(HHV(H,Periods),-4) AND Ref(H,-2)<Ref(H,-3) AND Ref(H,-1)<Ref(H,-3) AND H<

      That's the code but I don't know 
      "PREVIOUS" what they prefer to!!!  Anthony

        Tom, 
          
        Try this: 
          
        
        Cond=L >  Ref(L,-1) AND H > Ref(H,-1);
        Cond2= BarsSince(Cond < 1);
        Filter= 1;
        AddColumn (Cond2,"");

          Is 
          it possible to have Higher Highs AND Higher Lows show at the

            Anthony, 
              
              
            Again, thank you. What I am trying to determine is how 
            many days in a row the stock is setting higher highs and higher 
            lows, as opposed to a moving average. Is this possible to 
            code?

            Tom, 
              
            You have yet to define what you consider as trending....here is 
            another sample: 
              
            
            periods= Param("periods",10,1,100,1);//N period moving 
            average
            trendingup= BarsSince(L < MA(L,periods));
            trendingdown= BarsSince(H > MA(H,periods));
            Filter= 1;
            AddColumn (trendingup,"up",1);
            AddColumn (trendingdown,"down",1);

              Thank you. I ran your script and realized that I 
              asked the wrong question. What I am trying to determine is if the 
              price has been in a "continuous" up or down trend for n 
              periods. 
                
              Tom 
                
                
              
              Depends on how you want to define trending Higher or 
              lower..Here is a sample explore... 
                
              
              //Automatic analysis 
              //Explore 
              //all symbols 
              //n last quotations 
              //n=1 
              periods= 10;
              trending= ROC(C,periods);
              trendingUP=trending >  0;
              trendingDown=trending <  0;
              state= WriteIf(trendingup,"trendingUP for ("+WriteVal(periods,1)+") periods ","trendingdown for ("+WriteVal(periods,1)+")periods");
              Filter= 1;
              AddTextColumn (state,"State");

                Would someone be able to tell me how to write a 
                condition to a scan that says 'if prices are trending either 
                higher or lower for n periods'?
