range of the previous 20 days (default values, which are independently
adjustable). If you want to make it more precise ("expanding rapidly
beyond the trading range") you'll need to define that and add it to
the condition(s).
As to the volume, you can add the volume criteria to both conditions
if you want, but I assumed (perhaps mistakenly on my part) you were
looking for buy-only conditions. Going long with rising volume is
typically a good idea, but selling or going short on rising volume is
more of a hit-or-miss proposition, in my experience.
