I guess my questions remain unanswered. I mean "What are the differences and why 140 shares is allowed while 40 shares is not allowed?" Why does SEC think they are different? And what are the consequences?

Actually that's what I am asking. Say, I want the lows of the day for the last ten days to be close enough (they may not be exactly the same), but I don't know how to deal with the approximation in a simple way.

Thanks for your comment. I may rephrase the question: How do I design a program or script to find out the stocks with well-defined consolidation pattern?
