breakout formula you said you were currently using.
Thanks

  Could you please tell me in detail what this 
  formula is suppose to achieve not just a breakout. like HHV is 
  that
  Higher higher Volume for example because i am 
  currently using ms 8's breakout formula.

    1. I see exactly what you mean. On KO, you have to go back 
    to Mar 15, 01 to find this indicator working as a breakout tool. KO has been 
    in a solid downtrend since then.
    2. So why does a breakout tool help identify sell points 
    in a downtrend? The answer is that it signals rallies and, in a downtrend, 
    short sell opportunities follow the rallies.
    3. So, here is more of the scan code that, as a breakout 
    tool, ensures we are in at least a short term uptrend.
    Mov(C,20,S)>Mov(C,40,S) AND C>Mov(C,40,S) ANDC 
    > Ref(HHV(C,10),-1) AND Ref(LLV(O,10),-1) > .95 * 
    Ref(HHV(C,10),-1) ANDRef(LLV(C,10),-1) > .95 * 
    Ref(HHV(O,10),-1)
    4. As an indicator, this should do a better job of 
    pointing out breakouts that have a better chance of continuing up because 
    they are in an uptrend. False signals (sees) could be reduced by demanding a 
    longer term uptrend.
    My thoughts
    David
