Help building a volume and price algo

Can someone out there please help me build an algo for buying on volume spikes and price movement!?

I've looked at a bunch of the code and i believe a lot of mine will come from the history section, especially in the 'looking back x bars.'

If i want to start basic and build an algo that will buy 100 shares on volume spikes AND based on prior price movement/action of the stock what would i need to code?

HELP!! Thx!!
