streak(condition, period)

Parameters

Name Type Description
condition bool The condition to test (e.g., close > open)

streak = largest N <= period such that condition held for each of the last N consecutive bars

Examples

// how many consecutive up days (close > open)?
streak(close > open, 5);
// consecutive days above 50-day MA
streak(close > sma(close, 50), 10);
// consecutive days with volume > average
streak(volume > sma(volume, 20), 7);
// find stocks with 3+ consecutive up days
streak(close > open, 5) >= 3;
// consecutive days where RSI > 50
streak(rsi(close, 14) > 50, 10);
// consecutive narrow range days (true_range < average)
streak(true_range() < sma(true_range(), 20), 5);

Returns
