Hi all,

I am still very new to Telechart and have a couple of questions.

I found the site, TradeOn, which has a lot of PCF's and Easy scans etc.

I am having trouble applying a pcf though.

For example, if I want to use a PCF for a candle patter, such as a hangman , this is the formula that they say to use.

(AVGC5.1 > (1.1 * AVGC5.6)) AND (C < O) AND (O = H) AND (MAXH10 = H) AND (C - L) >= (2 * (O - C)) AND (AVGV10.1 > 250)

Once I create a PCF with that formula. I try and use it and it always says "Not Calculated", even though I updated Telechart prior to usin it.

Also, how would one use this PCF? Will it bring up all the stocks that closed with a hangman pattern? Or would i need to use a scan for that?

Thanks in advance. I know these are newbie questions, but it is late and I am at a loss.

Chris

After you create a PCF you must calculate it. You can then use it as a sort or scan condition.

Here is a short video to review on PCF basics: How to create a Personal Criteria Forumula (PCF)
