//Choice 1 is ORB which is a simple scan showing the brekout, profit and stop
//levels for each ticker. Run this scan within first minutes of market open to
//record the levels for each of the securities you are tracking. Set the range
//of the analsys window to 'n last days' where n=1.
//Choice 2 is STATS wich is a more thorough scan that is intended to be used on
//a single security at a time. Results can then be exported into a spread sheet for
//further analysis. While it is not perfect the intended goal is to output a set
//of data which can be used to measure the profitabilty of the system on a given
//security as well as determine the best way to filter out undesirable trades. Set
//the range in the analysis window to include whatever range of days you want to
//output.
/*
$$$$$$$$ The two lines below display the output of the STATS exploration $$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$ The top line contains the column headings and the bottom line $$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$ contains the data for each time stamp. Trend is measured as a 1 $$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$ day swing pivot. U means the previous day closed above a recent $$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$ pivot top. D mena the previous day closed below a recent $$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$ pivot bottom. F means the previous day closed between a $$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$ both the recent pivot top and pivot bottom. D3 and D2 are plus $$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$ and minus symbols to show the close of each day relative to the $$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$ previous. D1 is the current day's open relative to previous $$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$ day's close. D1 is trade day, D2 is the day before trade day $$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$ and D3 is the day before that. After this is a series of 5 $$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$ price patterns taken from Toby Crabel's book. 1's and 0's show $$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$ for each time stamp what the PREVIOUS day's price pattern $$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$ looked like. After the price patterns you find the 6 dollar $$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$ values for the breakout, stop and profit targets. The final 6 $$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$ columns show what occured during each step and using 1's and $$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$ 0's diplays when you enter long/short, stop out long/short or $$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$ hit the long/short target. $$$$$$$$$$

So the line above tells us these things:
(Trend) Yesterday closed above a recent pivot top. (D1)Today's open was above yesterday's close, (D2) yesterday
closed below the previous day's close and (D3) that day closed above it's prior day. Yesterday was
also WS4 and WS7 day which means expansion. At 9:37 am pries broke below the short breakout level
and a short entry was indicated.
It is best to run the STATS exploration in a 1 minute time frame to prevent false stops occurring when
a single 5 or 15 minute bar stretches across both the stop loss and breakout levels

//Choice 1 is ORB which is a simple scan showing the brekout, profit and stop
//levels for each ticker. Run this scan within first minutes of market open to
//record the levels for each of the securities you are tracking. Set the range
//of the analsys window to 'n last days' where n=1.
//Choice 2 is STATS wich is a more thorough scan that is intended to be used on
//a single security at a time. Results can then be exported into a spread sheet for
//further analysis. While it is not perfect the intended goal is to output a set
//of data which can be used to measure the profitabilty of the system on a given
//security as well as determine the best way to filter out undesirable trades. Set
//the range in the analysis window to include whatever range of days you want to
//output.
/*
$$$$$$$$ The two lines below display the output of the STATS exploration $$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$ The top line contains the column headings and the bottom line $$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$ contains the data for each time stamp. Trend is measured as a 1 $$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$ day swing pivot. U means the previous day closed above a recent $$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$ pivot top. D mena the previous day closed below a recent $$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$ pivot bottom. F means the previous day closed between a $$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$ both the recent pivot top and pivot bottom. D3 and D2 are plus $$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$ and minus symbols to show the close of each day relative to the $$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$ previous. D1 is the current day's open relative to previous $$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$ day's close. D1 is trade day, D2 is the day before trade day $$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$ and D3 is the day before that. After this is a series of 5 $$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$ price patterns taken from Toby Crabel's book. 1's and 0's show $$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$ for each time stamp what the PREVIOUS day's price pattern $$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$ looked like. After the price patterns you find the 6 dollar $$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$ values for the breakout, stop and profit targets. The final 6 $$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$ columns show what occured during each step and using 1's and $$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$ 0's diplays when you enter long/short, stop out long/short or $$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$ hit the long/short target. $$$$$$$$$$

So the line above tells us these things:
(Trend) Yesterday closed above a recent pivot top. (D1)Today's open was above yesterday's close, (D2) yesterday
closed below the previous day's close and (D3) that day closed above it's prior day. Yesterday was
also WS4 and WS7 day which means expansion. At 9:37 am pries broke below the short breakout level
and a short entry was indicated.
It is best to run the STATS exploration in a 1 minute time frame to prevent false stops occurring when
a single 5 or 15 minute bar stretches across both the stop loss and breakout levels
