Consecutive Days

Table of Contents

These filter stocks based on the number of days in a row the stock has closed up for the day.  This analysis is based completely on the closing price of the stock on a daily chart.  This always starts with the close of the previous trading day, and works backwards from there.  Negative numbers represent down days.

  • A stock closed yesterday afternoon at $10.00.  It closed at 9.90 the day before.  It closed at 9.80 the day before that.  The preceding day it closed at 9.95.  This stock has 2 up days.
  • A different stock closed yesterday afternoon at $20.00.  It closed at 20.10 the day before.  It closed at 20.00 the previous day.  This stock has 1 down day, or -1 up days.
  • A third stock closed yesterday and the day before at $30.00  This stock has 0 up days.
The user can fill in either or both of these values.  Examples:
  • 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.
