I want to have scans in real time, so i'm goign to get StockFinder RT in blocks but firs i want to know this:

If i want to make a simple formula like: the close of today is greater than the close of yesterday, in Telechart is (C > C1)

The easiest thing to do is drag price to the condition palette, choose Moving Up and OK the condition.

Be sure to check out the videos on Blocks.com to learn more about creating conditions and scanning with them.

Ok that was simple, but was only an example, maybe i was not enought clear, my question is if can i make formulas in blocks.
There is any formula editor  like in Telechart?
I want to have some formulas like:
(C < O) AND ((H - C) > (C - L))
(C < C1) AND (C < XAVGC7) AND (C < XAVGC30)
And other more like this.

I have seen some videos of how to make scans, but i only see scans with indicators, not with the close prices, highs, lows, etc.

Ok now i know this can be done in the Realcode editor, and my question is where can i find any manual or reference guide for the functions and syntax for use this Real Code ??
For example how can i use moving average in Real code?

Check out the RealCode Reference:  http://videos.blocks.com/blocks/realcodereference.pdf

Page 14 and the following pages should pretty much set you in the right direction.

But specifically, your first condition in RealCode is:

If Price.Close < Price.Open And ((Price.High-Price.Close) >  (Price.Close - Price.Low)) Then Pass
