I am tring to scan stocks which crossed above the bottom of 45 day channel. It should be:
close crossed above the bottom of 45 day channel
But it does not find. What is my mistake here?
Also can somebody explain what does 45 day channel mean? How do they calculate it?

Most channels are defined by the lowest close (or low) during that period. By default no stock can "cross above" the lower channel because no price action occurs below it.
You might consider using linear regression channels.

When I look to the 45 day channel, It seems those channels are not related to lows or highs. Maybe bottom of 45 day channel is mean value of lows for 45 days, and top is mean value of highs for 45 days or something like that.
It would be nice if stockfethcer team explains it

Actually you are right - there are a lot of examples where price action occurs outside of how SF draws the channels. And there is no description of how the channels are determined.
Try this:
While not all of the stocks it returns actually meet the filter criterion, some do. Keep them on a watch list and when they cross you will see it.

I tried something like this:
RSI(2) below 30
close below the bottom of an increasing 45 day channel
price above 1
average volume (30) above 50000
and backtested it : take profit :10
Stop loss :10
There were 178 total stocks entered. Of those, 164 or 92.13% were complete and 14 or 7.87% were open.
Of the 164 completed trades, 88 trades or 53.66%resulted in a net gain.
Your average net change for completed trades was: 1.03%.
The average draw down of your approach was: -7.35%.
The average max profit of your approach was: 8.89%
The Reward/Risk ratio for this approach is: 1.23
Annualized Return on Investment (ROI): 28.10%, the ROI of ^SPX was: 35.52%.
I think this can be improved.
