Your question got cut off because it was asked entirely in the title, so I don't know for sure what the clarification at the end about what you don't want might be.

There are a variety of possible definitions for an inside bar. The following Condition Formula checks for the low to be greater than or equal to the prior low, the high to be less than or equal to the prior high, the high of the current bar to be above the low and the current bar to be smaller than the previous bar.

L1 <= L AND L < H AND H <= H1 AND H - L < H1 - L1

You can select New | Condition (PCF) Formula and copy and paste the formula from the forums into the Edit Formula window to create the Condition Formula.

Writing Custom Conditions: The Basics (40:36)

Once you have created the Condition Formula, you can add it to an EasyScan three times. Then change the time frames of the three EasyScan Conditions so one is set to 15 Minutes, one is set to 30 Minutes and the other is set to 1 Hour.

Building a Scan with Multiple Conditions (7:29)

The EasyScan will return symbols in the List to Scan of the EasyScan which currently meet the requirements of all of its EasyScan Conditions.

You can make an Alert based on this EasyScan by select Alerts | New Alert | Scan, but Alerts are created one symbol at a time. It is not possible to create Alerts for an entire WatchList at once.
