 | Hi all, 
 I am still very new to Telechart and have a couple of questions.
 
 I found the site, TradeOn, which has a lot of PCF's and Easy scans etc.
 
 I am having trouble applying a pcf though.
 
 For example, if I want to use a PCF for a candle patter, such as a hangman , this is the formula that they say to use.
 
 (AVGC5.1 > (1.1 * AVGC5.6)) AND (C < O) AND (O = H) AND (MAXH10 = H) AND (C - L) >= (2 * (O - C)) AND (AVGV10.1 > 250)
 
 Once I create a PCF with that formula.  I try and use it and it always says "Not Calculated", even though I updated Telechart prior to usin it.
 
 Also, how would one use this PCF?  Will it bring up all the stocks that closed with a hangman pattern?  Or would i need to use a scan for that?
 
 Thanks in advance.  I know these are newbie questions, but it is late and I am at a loss.
 
 Chris

 | After you create a PCF you must calculate it.  You can then use it as a sort or scan condition.
