In the current production version of TeleChart, the 3-Day Bars are rolling 3-Trading Day Bars where the end of the most recent Bar is the current Trading Day. The Personal Criteria Formulas in the current production version of TeleChart are Daily only, so a formula for the High of the current 3-Day Bar would be:

MAXH3

In the TC2000.com version 11 beta, the 3-Day Bars are fixed. They will always start and end on the same date as new data becomes available. The PCFs for the TC2000.com version 11 beta are settable using a drop-down menu when creating or editing the PCF however, so you could create a formula for the High of the current 3-Day Bar as:

H

If you need to be checking the High of the most recent Trading Day instead of the High of the 3-Day Bar, you would need to use a Daily Time Frame for your PCF. I do not know of a way to determine how far along any particular 3-Day Bar might.
