I am trying to build pcf's in ez scan. My examples are: 20 day SMA at or below current price, 5 day average volume at or below 30 day average volume.

Another scan I would like to have would be trading range over a certain timeframe. This one I don't have specifics for yet and would need to play with the formula a bit but if you could get me started on this I would be very helpfull...

jande05,
Here's an example of a 15-Period Trading Range:

MAXH15 - MINL15

It can be adjusted by changing each instance of 15 in the formula to the desired period. You may wish to review the following:

You will need to create the formula as a Personal Criteria Formula (review the video if you need help):

How to create a Personal Criteria Forumula (PCF)

Select New | New Personal Criteria Formula.
Name it Average Price Range 3-Day and select OK.
Copy and paste the following formula into the Editing formula window and select Save:

AVGH3 - AVGL3

After updating your PCFs, you can create your EasyScan (review the video if you need help):

Using EasyScan to find stocks that meet your own criteria

Select New | New EasyScan.
- Watchlist: All Stocks
- Average Price Range 3-Day: Value: 4 to Max
- Price Per Share: Value: 20 to Max
- Volume 5-Day: List Rank: 80 to 99

As mentioned in the tutorial video, left clicking on an EasyScan Condition will bring up a Rangefinder that can be adjusted (Boolean (True/False) EasyScan Conditions will not bring up the Rangefinder because it is not necessary in that case).

QUOTE (henrietta)
stocks that have risen over 4% for the last 3 days:

It should probably be mentioned that the formula provided represents a the Average Range over the last 3-Periods. A 3-Period Price Percent Change formula could be written as follows:

100 * (C / C3 - 1)

QUOTE (henrietta)
how do i custom RSI 5 day onto the chart?

Please try the following (review the video if you need help):

Adding, removing and saving indicators to a chart template

Select Chart Template | Add Indicator | Wilder's RSI.
- RSI Period: 5
- Use Wilder's Smoothing: Checked or Unchecked?
- Avg Period: ? (should probably be 1 if Use Wilder's Smoothing is Checked)
- Average Type: Simple or Exponential? (doesn't matter if Avg Period is 1)
