count(close > open, 5);
// count days above 50-day MA in last 10 days
count(close > sma(close, 50), 10);

count(volume > sma(volume, 20), 7);
// find stocks with at least 3 up days in last 5
count(close > open, 5) >= 3;
// count days where RSI > 50 in last 10 days
count(rsi(close, 14) > 50, 10);
// count narrow range days in last 5 days
count(true_range() < sma(true_range(), 20), 5);
