A 52-week high is a momentum condition. A three-year high is a stock emerging from an entire cycle. Everyone who bought in that span is in profit, which is why the level tends to run once it clears, and why the volume filter matters more here than on the yearly version: a three-year base that resolves on nothing is usually a drift that fails. The window is written as `3y` and computed at scan time. The same scan over five years is the Five-year high.
