Welcome to the forums. A very good foundation for learning how to use TeleChart can be gained by reviewing the following:

If you are new to TeleChart READ THIS FIRST!

There have been quite a few EasyScans and Personal Criteria Formulas posted in the forums beyond the examples that originally come with TeleChart, but there is no compiled list of these EasyScans available. You would need to search for individual topics to find them.

Is there something you want specifically (keeping in mind the trainers can't give setting, interpretation or investment advice.)? You may wish to review the following:

Hello, I have been using worden for a couple of months and am slowly getting use to all the tools.
I am having trouble with dr. Elders force index. I got the formula from the tradeon site, but i get
a "boolean error" message every time i try to employ the formula.
I amnot sure what boolean means so i am stumpedat the moment.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and any advice is welcomed.

Boolean basically means True or False, so a Boolean formula will return either True or False.

When you are Plotting Custom Indicators, Boolean Formulas are used as the Boolean Formula in a Custom Percent True Indicator and as the Up Condition and Down Condition in a Custom Cumulative Indicator. All of these three fields must use Boolean formulas or they will return an error.

All of the other formula used in Custom Indicators must return a value instead (or they will return an error).

What's the formula, and how is it being used?

ron67,
There is no compiled list of all of the EasyScans every created in the forums. You would need to search for EasyScans (or for terms related to the specific EasyScan desired).

If you want to find if this has been created previously, you could search set to Match All Words for:

dividend EasyScan

Learn how to use the forums: post a new topic, reply, Search existing topics

As far as creating the EasyScan itself:

- Select New | New EasyScan.
- Change the WatchList to Scan to Standard and Poors 500 Component Stocks.
- Select Add New Condition | Dividend Yield.
- Adjust the EasyScan Rangefinder to List Rank: some arbitrary Percentile of your choice to Max.
- Select OK.
- Select Save.
- Give the EasyScan a name and select OK.

You don't even need a scan for that.  Just set your watchlist to the S&P 500 Components and set the Sort to Dividend Yield.
