 I want to find the day (red box on chart below) where the 1 month high intersects at a right angle to the candlestick.  This is to try to get a 2 -5 day or more swing trade.  Any help on how to write this, I would be most appreciative.

 Submit
 
 See  April 1 2019 of the above filter.
 Find the one that has hit   high 20 DAY HIGH and put in on a symlist the follow the trend. Break down below the ema13 then let it go.
 
   
 had to put a ascending triangle and the longer term Guppy Investors moving averages on this picture.

 FWIW
 I posted my suggestion without knowing that Mac has already posted something.

 Thanks Mac & Cheese (see what I did there) lol.  Both of the above filters picked Ford (F).  Instead of having to sort through several hundred hits, I was hoping there was some way to find a stock like F when the 1 month high intersected it for the "first" time (red box).
 
 I tried using the slope of the 1 month high equals 0 also but without any luck.  Thanks for your ideas!

 Well, I've gotten closer with this filter, but it missed picking up F (Ford) for some reason.  Many less hits on this one though.

 Well I think this fixes what I was looking to find.  I must have been brain dead last nigh.  Limited hits and picking the stock when the 1 month high intersects.  Many less hits and the results are looking good so far.
 
 Thanks for your help - any improvements, please feel free to post.

 1.  Is it your intent to eliminate any stocks that in the past 6 days have Highs equal to but not greater than the ongoing, High 1 month High, before today's new higher, High 1 month High?
 
 2.  I believe new high 1 month high lines won't actually intersect candles at right angles as the High 1 month high is drawn to touch the topmost tip of the candlestick; however, new Close 1 month highs, would probably have some intersection of today's candles  that have Highs above their Closes, but probably still not at right angles.
 
 Thanks,
 Ed S.

 1. Yes, after a pullback many times stocks will make a good run.  So I am trying to find the next wave up on a stock, even if it is only for a few days (my style of swing trading).
 
 2.  Correct, it won't actually "intersect", but that was the best way I knew how to try to convey what I was seeing.
 
 I don't want to see the 1 month high "drop" to meet the candles as this many times shows a weakness in the run and they many times fail.
 
 Here is another example of what I like to see.

 Here is an example of what I don't want to see.  On EBAY the 1 month high line actually "drops" to meet the candles.  This is a sign of weakness IMO that it couldn't make a new high within that 1 month period and as you can see, the stock price then drops.
