- Set Min Up Days to 3 to see only stocks which traded up for the previous three days, possibly more. This will only show stocks with a strong up trend.
- Set Max Up Days to -4 to see only stocks which traded down for the previous four days, possibly more. This will only show stocks with a strong down trend.
- Set Min Up Days and Max Up Days both to 2 to see only stocks which have traded up for exactly 2 days. This is useful for many trading strategies.
