Saudksa, Hi. I'm not an expert but you could probably try somthing like this : {X:=(H-L)>=Ref(H-L,-1)*2 AND (C>=H*.99); x;} You might have to modify it depending if you want it as an expert or an indicator,etc.

Thanks Wabbit

Now you're starting to confuse me! A couple of days ago you said that todays trading range had to be twice the previous day's trading range, and yet your code has 1.5 times: If((H-L)>(Ref(H-L,-1)*1.5),1,0) which, by the way, is EXCATLY the same as writing it this way: (H-L)>(Ref(H-L,-1)*1.5) Do you want todays range to be 2 times yesterday, or 1.5 times yesterday? As I stated in a previous post to you, you must be EXPLICIT in what you are trying to code, we and the computers are just dumb machines that will follow whatever instructions you tell us, without interpretation for what is right, or better, or whatever. If you wanted the daily close to be within 5% of the daily range of the high, you should have said so. C>=(L+0.95*todaysRange); Also, you have now added to the original criteria you were looking for. I don't mean to sound sharp, I don't mind helping people code, but please don't make us do your trading system development for you. That's your job. Anyway, all together, I think your code should now look something like: todaysRange:=H-L; yesterdaysRange:=Ref(todaysRange,-1); closeNearHigh:=C>=(L+0.95*todaysRange); thrustBar:= yesterdaysRange>0 AND todaysRange>(2*yesterdaysRange) AND closeNearHigh AND C>BBandTop(C,20,S,2) AND GapUp(); thrustBar; Of course, this has now taken us on a journey FAR AWAY from the original intended THRUST BAR as described in http://www.trading-naked.com/library/JoeRossTradingManual_C26_225-230.pdf

Now that I have my MS back, I tested the code as I had posted, and it works fine. It returned four stocks on the ASX that met the conditions on 22Dec and two on 23Dec. Just because there are no returns on a paticular day doesn't mean the code doesn't work. An easy way to test if a code has ever returned a stock is to use the barssince() function in one of the Explorer columns and include in the filter that column whatever should have a value of 0 or more. Then only those stocks that have ever met the criteria will be returned from the exploration. Here's what I used in my test: ColA todaysRange:=H-L; yesterdaysRange:=Ref(todaysRange,-1); closeNearHigh:=C>=(L+0.95*todaysRange); thrustBar:= yesterdaysRange>0 AND todaysRange>(2*yesterdaysRange) AND closeNearHigh AND C>BBandTop(C,20,S,2) AND GapUp(); BarsSince(thrustBar); Filter ColA>=0 Then sort descending by ColA. On the other matter, if you are going to start heading away from the original subject in the thread, either state this or start a new discussion thread. It is difficult enough trying to ascertain what is going on in most of the threads at the best of times, let alone when people are purposely taking the discussions off-topic. Its not yet a rule, just the polite thing to do. Hope this helps. wabbit :D
