Traders often look for stocks that have take a rapid decline in price with the intention of catching them on the rebound assuming they have become oversold. The problem is determining when these stocks have established their low price. This example screens out stocks that have had a rapid decline over a short period but they have also established some price support or a channel. They have not yet shown an upward trend yet. This example basically screens out stocks that have had a huge Short Term (ST) decline in price in the last 15 days but in the last 5 days have begun forming a channel establishing some support. This is done by specifying that the price has dropped at least 30% from 15 days ago, a significant price drop indeed. In addition though we have specified that the today's price relative to the prices 1, 2, 3 and 4 days ago is not over 5% above or below any of them. This way we get a channel being established and a look at the daily charts makes this quite clear. This might indicate some price support is taking place although one might best wait for some kind of breakout. An additional note worth making is that you actually could specify that the high of the current day was higher than that of the last 5 days where the channel had been established possibly indicating the beginning of the price reversal upward.
