One strategy you could try is to trade into the direction of a break out after two (or three) consecutive inside days. Some are day trading this pattern with different variances. Inside day is when today's open and close is inside yesterday's open and close. It means indecision, consolidation. Then sometimes you get strong move out of it and you can try to capture it. Three straight inside days should be stronger, a little bit more reliable pattern, but also less often.
I would guess, just tracking and comparing three days ago open/close to two days ago and to yesterdays probably shouldn't be too hard to program. Especially since historical data is already saved.
First link shows good example with two inside days:

Thanks for that, It shouldn't be to hard to code that up. In fact I think I'll try that next. :-)
